Care and cleaning of the range.
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven will stay
new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you wear rubber
gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also
be used. Do not allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (such as
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier.
Place 1/2 cup in a
shallow glass or pottery container in a
cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven
cleaners:
■ Do not spray on the electrical controls
and switches because it could cause
a short circuit and result in sparking
or fire.
■ Do not allow a film from the cleaner to
build up on the temperature sensor—it
could cause the oven to heat
improperly. (The sensor is located at
the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the
sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor as
a change in its position could affect
how the oven bakes.
■ Do not spray any oven cleaner on the
outside of the oven door, handles or
any exterior surface of the oven, wood
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.
