Porcelain
Enamel Oven & Broiler Drawer
The oven interior
is porcelain
on steel and it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.
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 dirt 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.
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.
Adhere
to the following
precautions
when
using
oven
cleaners:
1.
DO NOT spray cleaner
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 on the left interior wall 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, broiler drawer
glides, handles or any exterior surfaces
of the
range, plastic or painted
surfaces.
The cleaner
can damage
these
surfaces.
Cleaning
the Oven Bottom
The oven
bottom
is porcelain
enamel
and
can be removed
for easier
cleaning.
Clean using hot, soapy water,
a mild
abrasive
cleanser,
a soap-filled
abrasive
pad or oven cleaner
following
manufacturer's
instructions.
