General Information
Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts
longer when maintained properly and kept clean.
Cooking equipment is no exception. Your oven
must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Oven Surfaces
Several different finishes have been used in your
electric oven. Cleaning instructions for each surface
are given below. Your oven features a self-clean
cycle for the oven interior.
NEVER
USE AMMONIA,
STEEL WOOL PADS OR ABRASIVE CLOTHS,
CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE
POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE
YOUR OVEN.
Stainless Steel Parts
Some stainless steel parts may have a protective
wrap, which must be peeled off. All stainless steel
body parts should be wiped regularly with hot,
soapy water at the end of each cooling period
and with liquid cleaner designed for this material
when soapy water will not do the job. If build-up
occurs,
DO NOT
use steel wool, or abrasive cloths,
cleaners, or powders. If it is necessary to scrape
a stainless steel surface to remove encrusted
material, soak area with hot, wet towels to loosen
the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or
scraper.
DO NOT
use a metal knife, spatula, or any
other metal tool to scrape stainless steel surfaces.
Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
Brass Parts
Broiler Pan and Grid
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn
spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots
can be scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
DO NOT
CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS OR RACK
SUPPORT USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They
could sustain damage due to the extreme heat of
the self-clean cycle.
Meat Probe
The meat probe may be cleaned with soap and
water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the probe
before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap-
filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.
UÊ

store the probe in the oven.
General Information
CAUTION
All special ordered brass parts are coated
with an epoxy coating.
DO NOT

CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON ANY
BRASS PARTS. All brass body parts should be
wiped regularly with hot soapy water. When
hot soapy water will not do the job, use every
day household cleaners that are not abrasive.
