General
Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes,
saukerkraut, 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 cleaner 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.
