OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Continuous Cleaning Feature
If your oven has the continuous cleaning feature, it will have a dull gray finish with white
speckles that has been blended with a special catalytic material. (If the oven has a glossy
finish, it is standard porcelain enamel without the continuous cleaning feature.)
Before Using Your Oven–Read These Instructions Carefully.
Using The Continuous Cleaning Oven
The catalytic finish will keep your oven presentably clean with some effort on your part.
Any time the oven is in use, the catalytic action will be working to eliminate normal
cooking spatters. Simply cook as you usually do. Average oven spatters should fade away.
If a great deal of spattering occurs during cooking, a small amount may remain on the
surface of the oven interior at the end of the cooking time. This is particularly true during
a short cooking cycle. The longer the cooking cycle, the better the catalytic action.
Cleaning time depends on the type, size and amount of soil, and oven temperature. The
cleaning time will vary from a few minutes to several hours. The oven will never get
completely clean–it will appear "presentably clean," even though some stains or spatters
may be present.
Heavy Spillovers–Unusual Stains
The continuous cleaning oven feature will make cleanups easy. However, some spills or
food types are harder for the oven to clean without a little assistance. For heavy spillovers,
such as from an overfilled fruit pie or casserole, put a cookie sheet or aluminum foil on
the oven bottom. Be sure the foil does not cover the air openings, so do not extend foil
beyond oven bottom.
If you should get a heavy spillover on the oven bottom:
1. Brush off heavy soil with a nylon brush or plastic pad. DO NOT USE paper toweling,
cloths or sponge. Oven walls are porous and particles of these materials will rub off on
walls. Rinse area well with clean water only. Do not allow insulation under oven bottom
to become wet.
2. If spillovers harden before they can be wiped away, they may become either a brittle
crust or a varnish-type coating. The brittle crusts will loosen and flake off in time. This
process can be speeded up by GENTLY tapping crust with a wooden or plastic utensil
and then brushing crust away.
3. Any remaining soil will gradually reduce with continued oven use at normal baking
temperatures.
DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF OVEN CLEANER, POWERED CLEANSERS, SOAP,
DETERGENT OR PASTE ON ANY CONTINUOUS CLEANING SURFACE. ALSO,
DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE MATERIALS, STEEL WOOL, SHARP
INSTRUMENTS OR SCRAPERS. THEY WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH.
Note: Over a period of time, wear marks may appear on the embossed rack supports. This
is normal and results from sliding the oven racks in and out of the oven. Wear marks will
not interfere with the overall cleaning action of the oven.
