Care and Cleaning/continued/
Special Care of the Continuous-Cleaning
Oven Dnterior (onsomemodels)
The Continuous-Cleaning Oven cleans itself while
cooking. The oven walls are finished with aspecial
coating that cannot be cleaned in the usual manner
with soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial
oven cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or coarse brush*
es_ Use of such cleansers and/or the use of oven
sprays wilt 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 that run down the side wails of
a hard-surface oven liner, leaving unsightly streaks
that require hand cleaning, Instead, when spatter hits
the porous finish, it is dispersed and partially
absorbed° This spreading action increases the expo-
sure of oven soil to heated air and makes it somewhat
less noticeable°
Soil may not disappear completely and at some
time after extended usage, stains may appear that
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 oven
bottom does not have the continuous cleaning oven
coating and can be removed and cleaned with a com-
mercial oven cleaner,
This special coating is not used on the oven
shelves, oven bottom or the inside of the oven
door. Remove these to clean with a commercial
oven cleaner to prevent damaging the Continuous-
Cleaning Oven coating.
Make sure the oven bottom is in place before
you turn the oven on for any reason.
Use care in removing and replacing the oven
bottom and shelves and in placing and removing
dishes and food to avoid scratching, rubbing or other-
wise damaging the porous finish on the oven walls.
To Clean the Continuous-Cleaning Oven:
1. Let range parts cool before handling, We recom-
mend rubber gloves be worn When cleaning,
2. Remove shelves and cookware
3. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the oven
at 400°F (204°C)_ Close the door and turn OVEN
CONTROL knob to 400°F (204°C)_ Time for at least
four hours. Repeated cycles may be necessary
before improvement in appearance is apparent°
Remember: During the operation of the oven, the
door and other range surfaces will get hot enough
to cause burns. Do not touch. Let the range cool
before replacing the 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 leave unsightly lint on the oven finish_ if
water leaves a 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 toward
the center.
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
The oven bottom comes out for cleaning away from
the Continuous-Cleaning Oven,
The inside of the oven door has aporcelain enam-
el finish. The oven door lifts off for cleaning away
from the Continuous-Cleaning Oven. For instructions
on how to clean the inside of the oven door refer to
the Lift-Off Oven Door section
Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads,
commercial oven cleaner, silicone oven sprays,
coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous
surface, These products will spot, clog and dam-
age the porous surface and reduce its ability to
work_
Do not scrape the porous surface with a knife
or spatula---they could permanently damage the
finish,
