General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter
for more information about cleaning specifi c parts
of the oven.
Follow these cleaning precautions:
•
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
•
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appli-
ance manually.
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
fi lling) 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 eff ort required for major
cleaning later.
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.
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 over-
night 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 bot-
tom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well
using clean water and a cloth.
Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the
broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is
completed. Use oven mitts because the broiler pan
is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in
hot, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each
use. If necessary, use soap-fi lled steel wool pads.
Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
