Porcelain Enamel Oven Cleaning (Side oven)
Adhere to the following cleaning
precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before
cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the appilance manually.
Remove spillovers and heavy soils
as soon as possible. Regular
cleanings now will reduce the
extent and difficulty of major
cleaning later.
A CAUTION
Ammonia must be
rinsed off before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventiiation.
Porcelain has a smooth finish 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 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 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.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners
1. DO NOT spray on 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 sens- fTI
ing bulb located at the top left rear corner of the oven; it could cause the ¡S!
oven to heat improperly. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven clean- Q
ing, 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 I
exterior surfaces of the range, wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
To Ciean the Oven Bottom
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive
pad or oven cleaner following oven cleaner manufacturer's instructions.
A 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, pro­
duce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
