Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish
on the inside of the oven will stay new-looking
for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the range.
Soup and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with u mild abrasive cleaner. Soupy,
wet metal pads may also be used. Do not allow
food spills with u high sugar or acid content
(such us tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or
pie filling)to remain on the surface. They may
cause u dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place1/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The
ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
If necessary,you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
[] Do not spray on the electrical controls and
switches because it could cause
a short circuit and result in sparking
or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build
up on the temperature sensor-it could
cause the oven to heat improperly. (The
sensor is located at the top of the oven.)
Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move
the sensor as a change in its position could
affect how the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the
outside of the oven door, handles or any
exterior surface of the oven, wood or painted
surfaces. The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides, control
panel and door. Cleanthese with soap and
water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not usecommercial oven cleaners,cleansing
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.
