General Cleaning
To avoid possible burns, do not attempt cleaning
before turning off all surface burners and allowing
them to cool.
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter
for more information about cleaning specific parts of
the oven.
CaUTION
Before manually cleaning any part of the oven,
be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is
cool. The oven may be hot and can cause burns.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven
before cleaning.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow
food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such
as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause
a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers
and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular
cleaning will reduce the effort required for major
cleaning later.
adhere to the following precautions when us-
ing spray oven cleaners:
• Do not spray cleaner on the electrical controls or
switches because it could cause a short circuit
and result in sparking or fire.
• Do not spray any cleaner on the oven door trim
or gasket, broiler drawer glides, handles or any
exterior surfaces of the oven, plastic or painted
surfaces. The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.
• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up
on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause
the oven to heat improperly. The bulb is located
in the rear of the oven. Carefully wipe the bulb
clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not
to move the bulb. A change in its position could
affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the
bulb and capillary tube.
CarE aND CLEaNING
Cleaning porcelain Enamel Oven
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to
clean using oven cleaners.
To remove heavy soil:
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven
overnight or for several hours with the oven
door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot,
soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean
cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad
or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an
oven cleaner following manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small
area at the front center of the oven bottom.
Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using
clean water and a cloth.
aluminum Foil, aluminum Utensils, and Oven
Liners
WarNING
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil lin-
ings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock or
fire.
Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover
the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts
the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best
possible cooking results for any oven.
