Oven Cleaning - Frigidaire FEF455WFBC Owner's Manual

Oven Cleaning

(Left Oven)
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the
appliance manually.
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY
SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANINGS
LATER.
Ammonia must be rinsed
before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or any other part of
the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing
so will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum
foil will melt to the interior surface of the
oven).
Porcelain Enamel Oven
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners
can be used on all interior oven surfaces.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar
or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
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 spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse
well with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If
necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT
mix ammonia with other cleaners.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. 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.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, handles or any
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive
pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.
