CONTINUOUS-CLEANING OVEN FINISH
The rough surfaces in your oven have a continuous- The continuous-cleaning process Is Illustrated below;
cleaning finish. Spatters spread and fill the pores of this
special finish and then gradually burn away at medium
to high temperatures.
Heavy spillovers or bollovers need a little help from you;
• Use clear water and a detergent or a cleanser such
as Fantastik®, Liquid Ajax®, Top Job®, Liquid Lysol®
or Mr. Clean®, mixed in water, and a soft cloth or
nylon brush to clean any heavy spillovers.
• Do not use paper towels or sponges because
particles of these materials will rub off and clog the
pores of the oven finish.
• Crusty and varnIsh-like stains clog the pores in the
finish and must be removed or broken up before
cleaning takes place. They can be loosened by
gently tapping the stain with a wooden or plastic
utensil.

• After cleaning the oven surface, rinse it well using
three tablespoons of vinegar mixed with a quart of
cold water. Blot up excess liquid.
• Never scrape or use abrasive materials such as
scouring powders, commercial oven cleaners or
steel scouring padsfor cleaning upspillovers. These
materials will scratch and damage the finish.
The remaining soil will gradually burn off with normal
oven use.
The oven will appear presentably clean, but some spat­
ters may be present.
The higher the oven temperature, the faster the cleaning
action. Cleaning time depends on type and amount of
soil, oven temperature and length of oven use.
If stubborn stains remain after normal oven use, you can
operate the oven empty at 400°F for additional continu­
ous cleaning action.
Some foods may leave a discoloration even when the
surface is clean.
1. A spillover has formed a mound of soli.
2. The spillover has been wiped up.
3. AmouiYt of soil remaining afterfourhoursofovenuse
at 400°F.
4. After eight hours of oven use at 400'’F, the soil is
r^oved.
You can protect the oven bottom from spillovers by
using a piece of foil under your utensil. Cut the foil
slightly larger than the pan and turn up the edges. Use
two oven racks and put the foil on the lower rack below
the pan. Do not use foil on the same rack as the
pan. This win reflect heat away.
A
Do not cover an entire oven rack
with foil. The foil can block normal
heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foil di­
rectly above the bake element. Foil
used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven sui^
face;
therefore it should not be
used.
Avoid spilling salt on the continuous-cleaning finish.
Salt may become trapped in the pores and may cause
rusting.
Never use oven cleaner on the continuous-cleaning
finish. Such cleaners will damage the finish.
REMOVAL OF PACKAGING TAPE:
To remove adhesive left from packing tape and ensure you do not damage the finish of your new appliance, use an
application of household liquid dish washing detergent, mineral oil, or cooking oil. Apply with soft cloth and allow
to soak. Wipe with soft cloth. DO NOT use plastic pad or equivalent. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish
to thoroughly clean and protect the surface. This procedure is also safe for the face of microwave doors and other
plastic parts.
NOTE: The plastic tape that is not removed from chrome trim on range parts CANNOT be removed If baked on.
