Care and cleaning of the oven,
Non-Self-Clean Oven Interior (on
some
models)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish
on the inside of the oven-top, bottom, sides,
back and inside of the door-will stay new-
looking for years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves when
cleaning the oven.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy
spattering or spillovers may require cleaning
with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled
scouring pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface.
They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen the
burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you
may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
_, Do not spray oven cleaner 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. (Thesensor is
located at the top of the oven.)Carefullywipe
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.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place!/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven overnight.
,, Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of
the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces.The
cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Painted Surfaces
Cleanwith soap and water or a vinegar and
water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners,
cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh
abrasives on any painted surface.
Glass Surfaces
To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass
cleaner. Rinseand polish with a dry cloth.
Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down
inside the oven door while cleaning.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
(on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or
polish.Always wipe the surface in the direction
of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.
