However, any acid food spilled
(such as fruit ,juice, tomato or

Continuous-Cleaning
Oven Interior
Model JDC26G--The
inside of the
oven--top,
bottom, sides, back and
inside of the door--are
finished
with a ._pecial coating which
cannot be cleaned in the usual
manner with soap, detergents,
commercia!
oven cleaners,
coarse
abrasive pads or' coarse brushes,
Their use and/or the use of oven
sprays will cause permanent
damage..
The special coating
is a porous
ceramic
material
which is dark in
color and feels slightly rough to the
touch_ If magnified,
the surface
would appear as peaks, valleys, and
sub-surface
"tunnelsY This rough
finish tends to prevent grease
spatters from forming little beads
or droplets which run down the
side walls of a hard-surface
oven
liner leaving unsighly streaks that
require hand cleaning
Instead,
when spatter hits the porous finish
it is dispersed
and is partially
absorbed.
This dispersal
action
increases the exposure
of oven
soil to heated air, which results
in oxidation
of soil. This finish
also reduces the visual effect
of residual soil
Soil may not disappear
completely
and at some time after extended
usage, stains may appear. See "To
Clean the Continuous-Cleaning
Oven" at right to minimize
this
eff_ct_
The special coating works best on
small amounts of spatter.
It does
not work well with larger spills,
especially
sugars, egg or dairy
mixtures
For this reason, the oven
is equipped
with a removable,
replaceable
aluminum
foil oven
bottom liner which protects the
porous finish on the bottom of the
oven flora spillovem
Spills on inside surface
of the
oven door should be avoided.
The special coating is not used
on oven shelves.
Sheives can be
taken to the sink for cleaning, and
can be cleaned with abrasive and
commercial
oven cleaners outside
the oven to avoid damage to the
_pecial coating_
To Clean the
Cont inuous-Cleaning
Oven:
1. Let range parts coot before
handling,
It is recommended
that
rubber gloves be worn when
cleaning range parts manually,
2. Remove all cooking utensils,
including
the broiler pan and vack,_
3. Take shelves out of the oven and
clean them manually
with scouring
pads, mild abrasives
or commercial
oven cleaners,
(Follow package
directions
regarding
use of gloves
and eye protection
when using oven
cleaners,,)
4. Remove excess spills and
boilovers
from the aluminum
fbil
oven bottom liner before taking it
out of the oven so excess liquids
won't spill onto the porous finish
Then remove the aluminum
foil
liner. (When cleaning or removing
the aluminum
foil liner', lift the
bake unit up out of the way. )
If' the aluminum
foil liner is soiled
beyond cleaning
with damp cloth,
replace it. Using the old sheet as
a pattern, cut a new liner' from
regular heavy-weight
aluminum
foil
and place it on the oven bottom
Do not install aluminum
foil on
or near' bake element_ Improper
installation
of foil may result in a
risk of electric
shock or fire_
