Soil is visible on
continuous-cleaning oven
finish. • You broil often.
■ Soil is on door.
■ Soil is caused by sugar and starchy
spOls.
■ The special finish is designed to gradually
reduce oven soil during normal baking or
roasting. It is not designed to keep your oven
spotless, only presentably clean. If you broU
often, you may see oven soil. Follow hand
cleaning tips on page 11.
■ The door is cooler than the oven walls. Soil will
be more visible on the door than other areas in
the oven. See hand cleaning tips on page 11.
■ Sugar and starchy spills may leave stains. See
page 11 for hand cleaning tips. Keep foil on
oven bottom to catch these spills.
Cooking results aren't
what you expected. ■ Pans are the size called for in the recipe.
■ You are following a tested recipe from a
reliable source.
■ The cooking utensils have smooth, flat
bottoms and fit the surface units.
■ When baking, you have preheated the
oven as the recipe calls for.
■ When baking, you have allowed 1 1/2 to
2 inches (4-5 cm) on all sides of the pans
for air circulation.
■ When broiling, you have completely
closed the oven door.
■ You are allowing enough time for
surface units to warm up or cool off to
the desired heat setting (solid element
surface units only).
■ Use correct-size pans.
■ Modify recipe or find a new recipe.
■ Use cooking utensils with smooth, flat
bottoms.
■ Preheat the oven according to recipe’s
specifications.
■ Reposition pans for best air circulation.
■ Completely close oven door.
■ Solid elements take longer to reach the desired
heat settings than do coil elements. To avoid
overcooking after food has reached the desired
temperature, you may want to turn down the
heat setting earlier.
