Care and Cleaning
Special Care of
Continuous-Cleaning
Oven Interior
Model JDC27G
The Continuous-Cleaning
oven
cleans itself while cooking.
The
inside of the oven—top, sides and
back—is finished with a special
coating which cannot be cleaned
in the usual manner with soap,
detergents, steel wool pads,
commercial oven cleaners, coarse
abrasive pads or coarse brushes.
Use of such cleaners and/or the use
of oven sprays will cause permanent
damage.
The special coating is a porous
ceramic material
which is dark in
color and feels slightly rough to the
touch. If magnified, the surface
would appear as peaks, valleys, and
sub-surface "tunnels:' This rough
finish tends to prevent grease
spatters from forming little beads
or droplets which run down the
side walls of a hard-surface oven
liner leaving unsightly streaks that
require hand cleaning. Instead,
when spatter hits the porous finish
it is dispersed and is partially
absorbed. This spreading action
increases the exposure of oven
soil to heated air, and makes it
somewhat less noticeable.
WI
may not disappear completely
and at some time after extended
usage, stains may appear which
cannot be removed.
The special coating works best on
small amounts of spatter.
It
does
not work well with larger spills,
especially sugars, egg or dairy
mixtures.
The special coating is not used
on oven shelves.
Shelves should be
cleaned outside the oven to avoid
damage to the special coating
inside the oven.
ToClean the Continuous-
Cleaning Oven:
1.
Let range parts cool before
handling. We recommend rubber
gloves be worn when cleaning.
2. Remove shelves and cookware.
3. Soil visibility maybe reduced by
operating the oven at 400"F. Close
the door and push the BAKE button.
Then turn the SET knob until 400"F.
is displayed. Time for at least 4
hours. Repeated cycles may be
necessary before improvement in
appearance is apparent.

BEFORE REPLACING OVEN SHELVES.
4. If a spillover or heavy soiling
occurs on the porous surface, as
soon as the oven has cooled, remove
as much of the soil as possible using
a small amount of water and a stiff
bristle nylon brush. Use water
sparingly and change it frequently,
keeping it as clean as possible, and
be sure to blot it up with paper
towels, cloths, or sponges. Do not
rub or scrub with paper towels,
cloths or sponges, since they will
leaveunsightly lint on the oven
finish. If water leavesa white ring
on the finish as it dries, apply water
again and blot it with a clean
sponge, starting at the edge of the
ring and working towardthe center.
I
Do not use soap, detergent, steel
wool pads, commercial oven
cleaner, silicone oven sprays,
coarse pads or coame brushes
on the porous surface. These
products will spot, clog, and mar
the porous surf!aceand reduce its
ability to work.
Do
not scrape the porous
surface with a knife or spatula—
they
could permanently darnageit.
Porcelain Oven Interior
-"
Model JDS27G
With proper care, the porcelain
enamel finish on the inside of the
oven—top, bottom, sides, back and
inside of the door—will stay new-
looking for years.
Let range cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber
gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally
do the job. Heavy spattering or
spillovers may require cleaning
with a mild abrasive cleanser.
Soapy, wet metal pads may also be
used. 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. They may cause a dull
spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2cup in
a shallow glass or pottery container
in a cold oven overnight. The
+.
ammonia fumes will help loosen
I
the burned-on grease and food.
W
If necessary, you may use a caustic
cleaner. Follow package directions.
