Oven
and Broiler
Drawer
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.
General Cteaning
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 dirf 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.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
The overt bottom
is porcelain enamel
and can be removed
for easier
cleaning. See "To Remove and Replace Oven Bottom" under General Cleaning.

or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.
