CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Special Care of Continuous-Cleaning Oven Interior
(on some models)
The Continuous-Cleaning Oven deans itself while
cooking. The oven walls are finished with a
special
coating that cannot be cleaned in the usual manner with
soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial oven

such cleansers and/or the use of oven sprays will cause
permanent damage.
The special coating is a porous ceramic material,
which is dark in color and feels slightly rough to the
touch. If magnified, the surface would appear as peaks,
valleys and sub-surface “tunnels.” This rough finish

beads or droplets that run down the side walls of a
hard-surface oven liner, leaving unsightly streaks that
require hand cleaning. Instead, when spatter hits the
porous finish, it is dispersed and partially absorbed.
This
Spreading action increases the exposure of oven
soil to heated air and makes it somewhat less noticeable.
Sot! may xlOi disappear completely and at some time
after extended usage, stains may appear that cannot
be removed.
The special coating works best on small amounts of
spatter. It does not work well with larger spills,
especially sugars, egg or dairy mixtures.
This special coating is not used on oven shelves,
oven bottom or door liner. Remove these to clean
with a commercial oven cleaner to prevent damaging
the CoRtinuous=Cleaning Oven coating.
To Clean the Continuous-Cleaning Oven:
1. Let range parts cool before handling. We recommend
rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.
2. Remove shelves and cookware.
3. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the oven
at 400°F. Close the door and turn OVEN CONTROL
knob to 400°F. Time for at least four hours. Repeated
cycles may be necessary before improvement in
appearance is apparent.
Remember: During the operation of the oven, the

cause burns. Do not touch. Let the range cool before
replacing oven shelves.
4. If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous
surface, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove as
much of the soil as possible using a small amount of
water and a stiff-bristle nylon brush. Use water
sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it as
clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with paper
towels, cloths or sponges. Do not rub or scrub with
paper towels, cloths or sponges, since they will leave
unsightly lint on the oven finish. If water leaves a
white ring on the finish as it dries, apply water again
and blot it with a clean sponge, starting at the edge
of the ring and working toward the center.
The oven bottom and the inside of the oven door
have a porcelain enamel finish. The oven door lifts
off and the oven bottom comes out for cleaning away
from the Continuous-Cleaning Oven.
Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads,
commercial oven cleaner, silicone oven sprays,
coarse pads or coarse brushes on the porous
surface. These products will spot, clog and damage
the porous surface and reduce its ability to work.
Do not scrape the porous surface with a knife or
spatula— they
