Care and CBeaning (continued)
Speciat Care of the Continuous-CJeaning
Oven Bnterior (on somemodels)
The Continuous-Cleaning
Over1 cleans 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 cleaners,
coarse abrasive
pads or coarse brush-
es. Use of 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 tends to prevent
grease
spatters
from forming
little 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 expo-
sure of oven soil to heated air and makes it somewhat
less noticeable.
Soil
may not 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.
The oven
bottom
does not have the continuous
cleaning
oven
coating and can be removed
and cleaned
with a com-
mercial oven cleaner.
This
special
coating
is not used
on the
oven
shelves,
oven
bottom
or the inside
of the oven
door.
Remove
these
to clean
with a commercial
oven cleaner
to prevent
damaging
the Continuous-
Cleaning
Oven coating.
Make
sure
the oven
bottom
is in place
before
you turn the oven on for any reason.
Use
care
in removing
and
replacing
the
oven
bottom
and shelves
and in placing
and removing
dishes and food to avoid scratching,
rubbing or other-
wise damaging
the porous finish on the oven walls.

4. If a spitiover
or heavy soiling occurs
on the porous
i::i:
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
itl
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
has a porcelain
enamel
finish:
The oven bottom
comes
out for cleaning
away from
the Continuous-Cleaning
Oven.
The inside of the oven door has a porcelain
enam-
el finish.
The oven
door lifts off for cleaning
away
from the Continuous-Cleaning
Oven. For instructions
on how to clean the inside
of the oven door refer: to
the Lift-Off Oven Door section.
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
could
permanently
damage
the
finish.
