Oven Shelves
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven, however, they will darken, lose
their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf
supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make
shelves slide more easily.
With proper care, the
porcelain enamel finish
on the inside of the
oven—top, bottom,
sides, back and inside
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 cleaner. 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 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery
container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the. burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
because it could cause a short circuit and result in
sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on
the temperature sensor—-it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of
the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor
as a change in its position could affect how the oven
bakes.

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door.
handles or any exterior surface of the oven. cabinets
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
To Clean the Removable Upper Oven Panels
in the Lower Self-Cleaning Oven
These parts can be cleaned in the self-cleaning
lower oven. Place the shelf from the upper oven
on either shelf of the self-cleaning oven. (The shelf
may have to be shifted slightly so the shelf stops do
not interfere with placement of panels. )
S1 ide out the oven bottom; I ifting the bake element
slightly makes this easier to do. Lift the back panel
and remote. Place the bottom ~ind back panels back-
to-back so the soiled sides face outward. Place these
panels over the shelf on the STRAIGHT shelf. it is
important that the panels lay flat on the shelf'.
Lift the side panels up and out of the o~rcn. Place
back-to-back on the remaining self-cleaning oven
shelf.
To Replace the Panels in the Upper Oven
Replace the panels in any order desired. Be certain
the oven bottom is replaced so the notch is at the
right, and the "feet" on the bake element rest in
depressions in the panel. Replace the broiler
reflector so the "open side" is toward the bottom
of the oven.
