Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. REMOVE
SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE EFFORT
REQUIRED FOR MAJOR CLEANINGS LATER (See cleaning recommendations
on page 11 ).
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).
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Remember to follow
these cleaning precautions:
•
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
•
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.
Porcelain
Enamel
Oven and Broiler Drawer
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, 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 fi re.
2.
DO NOTallowa film from the cleanerto build up on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly.
(The bulb is located on the left interiorwall of the oven.) Carefullywipe 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.
To Clean 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.
