Oven Cleaning (contin.ed)
_DO NOTline the walls,

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).

oven bottom only. Remove the oven bottom before using oven cleaners. DO NOTget oven
cleaner on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces.

dull. After the self-clean cycle is completed, and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier into the rack positions).

complete, even flame. Clean burner holes routinely with a small gauge wire or needle and especially
after bad spillovers which could clog these holes.
