CARE & CLEANING
Porcelain enamel oven Cleaning
(auxiliary oven)
CAUTION
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
CAUTION
DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other
part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and
cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum
foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
IMPORTANT
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance
manually.
Remove spillovers and heavy soils as soon as pos-
sible. Regular cleanings will reduce the number of
future major cleanings.
Porcelain has a smooth nish and is a type of glass fused
to metal. Oven cleaners can be used on all interior oven
surfaces.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, saukerkraut, fruit juices or pie lling) to remain
on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning.
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 spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well
with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-lled scouring pad or a
nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner
following manufacturer’s instructions. DO NOT mix
ammonia with other cleaners.
Adhere to the following precautions when us-
ing oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches
because it could cause a short circuit and result in
sparking or re.
2. DO NOT allow a lm from the cleaner to build up on
the temperature sensing bulb located at the top left
rear corner of the oven; it could cause the oven to
heat improperly. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after
each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
bulb. A change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary
tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or
gasket, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range,
wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
To Clean the Oven Bottom
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a
soap-lled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following oven
cleaner manufacturer’s instructions.
