The special coating is a porous
ceramic material,
which is dark in
color and feels slightly rough to the
touch. If magnified, the
would appear as peaks, valleys and
sub-surface “tunnels?’ This rough
finish tends to prevent grease
spatters from forming
beads
or droplets that run down the side
walls of a hard-surface oven liner,
leaving unsightly streaks that
require hand cleaning. Instead,
when spatter hits the porous finish,
it is dispersed and partially
absorbed. This spreading action
increases the exposure of oven
soil to heated air and makes it
somewhat less noticeable.
Soil may not disappear completely
and at some time after extended
usage, stains may appear that
cannot be removed.
The special coating works best on
small amounts of spatter.

Remove these to clean

To
the Continuous-
Cleaning Oven:
1.
Let range parts cool before
handling. We recommend rubber
gloves be worn when cleaning.
2. Remove shelves and cookware.
3. Soil visibility maybe reduced by
operating the oven at 400°F. Close
the door and turn
CONTROL
knob to 400°F. Time for at least
hours. Repeated cycles may be
necessary before improvement in
appearance is apparent.

occurs on the porous surface, as
soon as the oven has cooled,
remove as much of the soil as
possible using a small amount of
water and stiff-bristle nylon
brush. Use water sparingly and
change it frequently. keeping it as
clean as possible, and be sure to
it up with paper towels, cloths
or
rub or
scrub
with paper towels, cloths or
sponges, since they will leave
unsightly lint on the oven finish.
If water leaves a white ring on the
finish as it dries, apply water again
and
with a clean sponge,
starting the edge of the ring and
working
the center.
I
Do not use soap, detergent,
steel wool pads, commercial
oven cleaner, silicone oven
sprays, coarse pads or coarse
brushes on the porous surface.
These products will spot, clog
and mar the porous surface and
reduce its ability to work.
Do not scrape the porous
surface with a knife or
they could permanently damage
the finish.
The oven bottom and the inside
of the oven door have a porcelain
enamel finish.
The oven door lifts
off and the oven bottom comes
out for cleaning away from the
Continuous-Cleaning Oven. See
