Ammonia must be rinsed
before operating the oven. Provide
adequate ventilation.
iàCAUTION DO NOT line the oven
walls, bottom, racks or any other part
of the appliance with aluminum foil.

produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven i nterior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior

Porcelain Enamel Oven and Broiler Drawer
The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners.
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 filling) 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 dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse
well with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If
necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. DO
NOT mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door lineroutsidethe oven door gasket
and the small area at the front center oftheoven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy
water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray cleaneron the electrical controls or switches because it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing
bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located in the
rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being
careful notto move the bulb. A change in its position could affect howthe oven
bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or gasket, broiler drawer
glides, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range, plastic or painted
surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
