Oven $heDvee
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or
steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To
make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from
excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the
shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You can use
aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole shelf. This
is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or
other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or
other foods that are highly acidic (such as milk, toma-
toes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon
juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain
enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately.
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow
the oven to cool first. Remove the oven bottom for
easier clean-up and to prevent damage to the contin-
uous cleaning oven coating (on some models).
Frequent wipings with mild soap and water (particu-
larly after cooking meat) will prolong the time between
major cleanings. Rinse thoroughly. Soap left on the
oven bottom can cause stains.
For heavy soil, use an abrasive cleaner or a soap-
filled scouring pad, A commercial oven cleaner may
also be used, following the package directions.
Oven Light BuJb (onsome models)
The light bulb is located
in the upper left comer of
the oven. Before replac-
ing your oven light bulb,
disconnect the electrical
power to the range at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the range
from the electrical outlet. Let the bulb cool completely
before removing it. Replace the bulb with a 40 watt
appliance bulb only. Do not touch a hot bulb with a
damp cloth as the bulb will break.
Porceaain Oven Onterior
(on all models except Continuous Cleaning models)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will
retain its attractive finish for many years.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spat-
tering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild
abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet 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 dull spots even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job eas*
ier. Place 1/2 cup (125 ml) ammonia in a shallow
glass pan and leave in a cold oven overnight. The
ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease
and food.
When necessary, you may use a commercial oven
cleaner. Follow the package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
o Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed.
o Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls
and switches (on some models) because it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
o Do not allow a film from the cleaner to remain on the
temperature sensing bulb--it could cause the oven
to heat improperly. (The bulb is located at the rear of
the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb as
a change in its position could affect how the oven
bakes.
o Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can dam-
age these surfaces.
