and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice, may cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a
piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking
dish on the shelf below to catch any boilovers. It
should not completely cover the shelf as this would
cause uneven heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should
not be placed on the oven bottom.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the control panel and drawer
front. Clean these with 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.
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom,
allow the oven to cool first. Remove the oven bottom
for easier cleanup and to prevent damage to the
continuous cleaning oven coating.
Frequent wipings with mild soap and water
(particularly after cooking meat) will prolong the
time between major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly. Soap
left on the oven bottom can cause stains.
For heavy soil, use a mild abrasive cleaner and
follow label instructions, using a thin layer of cleaner.
Use of rubber gloves is recommended. Wipe or rub
lightly on stubborn spots. A commercial oven cleaner
may also be used, following package directions.
