General Care & Cleaning
Follow these cleaning
precautions:
•
Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
•
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the appliance manually.
Ammonia must be
rinsed before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventilation.
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).

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, sauerkraut, 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 cleaners on the electrical controls or switches because it
could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2.
DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature
sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly.
(The bulb is
located in the rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe 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 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.
