Care and Cleaning (ooo ouod)
Special Care of the Continuous
Cleaning Oven Interior
(on some models)
The continuous deanlng oven deans itself while
cooking. The oven walls are finished with a special
coating that cannot be cleaned in the usual manner
with soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial
oven cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or coarse brushes.
Use of such cleansers and!or the use of oven sprays will
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 "umnels2' This rough finish
tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little
beads or droplets that run down the side walls 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 exposure of oven
soil to heated air and makes it somewhat tess 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 commercial oven deaner.
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 otherwise
damaging the porous finish on the oven wails.
To Clean the Continuous Cleaning Oven:
1. Let range parts cool before handling. We
recommend rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.
2. Remove shelves and cooleware.
3. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the oven
at 400°E
(204°C.)°
Close the door and turn OVEN
CONTROL lmob to 400°E
(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. Ifa spillover or hea W 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-brisde 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, c!oths 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 worldng 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 a porcelain enamel
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 deaners, silicone oven sprays,
coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous
surface. These products will spot, clog and damage
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,
