Porcelain enamel oven Cleaning (model A)
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 soils as soon as pos =
sible. Regular cleanings will reduce the number of
future major cleanings.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a
soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following oven
cleaner manufacturer's instructions.
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 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 located at the top left
rear corner of the oven; it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. 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.
Cleaning the Regular Oven
Make sure the oven is cool and that all control knobs are
at OFF position. Cleaning the oven is a lot easier when
the door is removed.
1. Remove the oven door; see under To Remove and
Replace the Oven Door in this Owner's Guide.
2. Empty the oven including the racks.
3. You can wash your broiler pan, grid and racks in the
kitchen sink.
4. Clean oven lining thoroughly with soap and a wet
cloth and wipe with a dry cloth.
To remove burned-on fat on oven walls, moisten soiled
parts with household ammonia, using a wet cloth. Follow
suggested manufacturer's cleaning method. (Do not
remove the oven door when using ammonia.)
Complete cleaning with a
damp cloth and use a fine
steel wool scouring agent if
necessary.
The lower element can
be moved up for cleaning
purposes.
5. Replace racks in the oven.
Reinstall oven door.
