CARE AND CLEANING
General Cleaning
Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more
information about cleaning specific parts of the oven.
Follow these cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance
manually.
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. 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 as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as
possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the effort required for
major cleaning later.
Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean
using oven cleaners.
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 nonabrasive 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.
Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan
from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use oven
mitts because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off
grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If
necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring
may scratch the grid.
Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all
controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven
may be hot and can cause burns.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before
cleaning.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventilation.
