Care and Cleaning
Proper care and cleaning are
important so your range will give
you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for it to help
assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER
IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING
ANY PART OF YOUR RANGE.
Special Care of Continuous-
Cleaning Oven Interior
Your range has a Continuous-
Cleaning oven that cleans itself
while cooking. The inside of the
oven—top, sides, and back—is
finished with a
special coating
which cannot be cleaned in the
usual manner with soap, detergents,
commercial oven cleaners, coarse
abrasive pads or coarse brushes.
Use of such cleansers 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 "tunnels:' 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 unsightly streaks that
require hand cleaning. Instead,
when spatter hits the porous finish
it is dispersed and is 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 which
cannot be removed.
The special coating works best on
small amounts of spatter.
not work well with larger spills,
especially sugars, egg or dairy
mixtures.
This special coating is not used
on oven shelves, oven bottom or
door liner. Remove these to clean
with a commercial oven cleaner to
prevent damaging the continuous
clean coating.
Clean the Continuous-
To
Cleaning Oven:
1. Let range parts cool before
handling. It is recommended that
rubber gloves be worn when
cleaning range parts manually.
2. Remove shelves and cookware.
3. Soil visibility maybe reduced by
operating the oven at 450"F. Close
the door and turn OVEN TEMP
knob to 450°F. Time for at least 4
hours. Repeated cycles may be
necessary before improvement in
appearance is apparent.

4. If a spillover or heavy soiling

occurs on the porous surface, as
soon as practical after the oven has
cooled, remove as much of the soil
as possible using a small amount of
water and a stiff bristle nylon
brush. When using water, use it
sparingly and change it frequently,
keeping it as clean as possible, and
be sure to blot it up with paper
towels, cloths, or sponges.
with paper towels,
rub or scrub
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
starting at the edge of the ring and
working toward the center.
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 spatula—
they could permanently damage
the finish.
The oven bottom and the inside
of the oven door have a porcelain
enamel finish. The door lifts off
and the oven bottom comes out for
cleaning away from the continuous-
cleaning oven.
