CARE AND CLEANING
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.
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. Doing so blocks
air fl ow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
trap heat, causing a fi re hazard.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven
can melt these materials to the oven cavity and
ruin the oven. These types of materials can also
reduce the eff ectiveness of the air circulation in
the oven and produce poor baking results. Only
use aluminum foil as recommended in this man-
ual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fi re.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of alu-
minum is much lower than that of other metals.
Care must be taken when aluminum pots or
pans are used.
• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover
the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven re-
stricts the heat and air fl ow needed to obtain
the best possible cooking results for any oven.
