CONTINUOUS-CLEANING OVEN FINISH (some models)
The rough surfaces in your oven have a continuous-
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 boilovers need a little help from you:
• Use clear water and a detergent or a cleanser such
as Fantastik®, Liquid Ajax®, Top Job®, Liquid Lyso!®
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 becau.se
particles of these materials will rub off and clog the
pores of the oven finish.
• Crusty and varnish'like stains clog the pures in tfie
finish and must be removed or broken up beiare
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 weil using
three tablespoons of vinegar mixed with a quad of
cold water. Blot up excess liquid.
• Never scrape or use abrasive materials such as
scouring powders, commercial oven cleaners or
steel scouring padsforcleaning up spillovers. 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 higherthe oven temperature, the faster the cleaning
action. Cleaning lime 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.
The continuous-cleaning process Is illustrated below:

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 wil' 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 on the
oven bottom. Foil used on the oven
bottom may damage the oven sur­
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-clean­
ing finish. Such cleaners will damage the finish.
PORCELAIN REMOVABLE OVEN BOTTOM
Remove the porcelain oven bottom from the oven for cleaning. It can be cleaned with abrasive cleaners, soap-filled
pads or oven cleaner. See next page for instructions.
REMOVAL OF PACKAGING TAPE:
The safest way to remove adhesive left from packing tape on new appliances to assure no damag e is done to the finish
of the product Is 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. 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.
