Porcelain-enameled broiler pan and insert
Porcelain door liner
Porcelain body parts
Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth . Scrub gently with a soapy, non-abrasive scouring pad to remove most spots . Rinse with a 50/50 solution of clean water and ammonia . If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes . Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth . Remove all cleaners or future heating could damage the porcelain . Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on porcelain surfaces . These spills may cause a dull spot even after cleaning .
Self-cleaning oven interior
Before setting a self-clean cycle, clean soils from the oven frame, areas outside the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom . See “Self Clean” on page 23 .
Oven door
Use mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water to clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well . Glass cleaner may be used on the outside glass of the door. Ceramic smoothtop cleaner or polish may be used on the interior door glass Do not immerse the door in water Do not spray or allow water or cleaners to enter the door vents . Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
Do not clean the oven door gasket . The oven door gasket is made of a woven material which is essential for a good seal . Do not rub, damage, or remove this gasket .
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:
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.
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.
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.
Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and ruin the oven. These types of materials can also reduce the effectiveness of the air circulation in the oven and produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used.
• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.
Replacing the Oven Light
The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use (Figure 28).
To replace the oven interior light bulb:
Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the appliance.
Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise.
Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.
Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.
Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).
Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock
Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
To remove the oven door:
1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor (Figure 29).
2. Pull up the lock located on each hinge support toward front of the oven until the lock stops. You may have to apply a little upward pressure on the lock to pull it up (Figure 30 and Figure 31).
3. Grasp the door by the sides, and close the door until the door frame makes contact with the unlocked hinges.
4. Pull the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the appliance to completely disengage the hinge levers (Figure 32).
To replace the oven door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. Do not use the oven door handle (Figure 32).
2. Hold the oven door at the same angle as the removal position. Carefully insert the hinge levers into the oven frame until you feel the hinge levers are seated into the hinge notches. The hinge arms must be fully seated into the hinge notches before the oven door can be fully opened. (Figure 32).
3. Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor (Figure 29).
4. Push the door hinge locks up toward and into the oven frame on both left and right oven door hinges to the locked position (Figure 30).
5. Close the oven door.
Caring for Your Glide Racks
To lubricate the glide rack:
1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a large flat surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth. Fully extend the rack.
2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track using a cloth or sponge.
3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Apply to loading guides, and rotation pin. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.
4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.
5. Turn the rack upside down and apply graphite lubrication to the insides of the loading guides.
6. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.
7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the bottom of the “V” and the glide channels. Keeping the frame sides lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when changing rack positions.
8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.

Oven Baking
For best cooking results, preheat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies, pastries, etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles. The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.
