The Continuous-Cleaning Oven
Standard oven walls are coated with smooth porcelain-enamel. Your continu-
ous-cleaning oven walls are coated wrth a special, rougher porcelain-enamel.
A fat spatter beads up on the smooth surface, but spreads out on the rougher
surface. The bead of fat chars and turns black. The spread-out fat gradually
burns away at medium to high temperatures (350"-475°F 176"-246°C) so the
oven can return to a presentably clean condition.

Using Foil
To catch sugar or starchy spills from pies and casseroles, use a piece of
heavy-duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on the lower rack, slightly larger
than the cooking container.
CAUTION: Do not use foil to cover oven floor or to completely cover a
rack. Good alr circulation
is
needed for the oven to operate properly.
Poor cooklng results and damage to the oven could occur.
Cleaning Tips
1.
The oven window and racks are not coated. Clean them by hand.
2. The oven door does not get as hot as the walls. Some hand cleaning may
be needed.
3. Use aluminum foil or a shallow pan according to instructions. Spillovers
do not burn away and may stain the bottom.
