additional
stains when

Porcelain
Oven
Interior
(on all models except continuous
cleaning models)
With
proper
care, the porcelain
enamel
interior
will
retain
its attractive
finish
for many yearn
Soap and water will normally
do the job. Heavy
spattering
or spillovers
may require
cleaning
with
a
mild abrasive
cleanser.
Soapy, wet pads may also be
used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar
or
acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut,
fruit
juices or pie filling)
to remain
on the surface_ They
may cause dull spots even after cleaning.
Household
ammonia
may make the cleaning
job easier.
Place
1/2 cup (125
ml) ammonia
in a shallow
glass
pan and leave in a cold oven overnight.
The
ammonia
fumes will help loosen
the bvrned-on
grease and food°
When
necessary,
you may use a commercial
oven
cleaner.
Follow
the package
directions.
Cautions
about
using
spray-on
oven cleaners:
" Be careful where
the oven cleaner
is sprayed.
" Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical
controls
and switches
(on some models)
because
it could
cause a short circuit
and result in sparking
or fire.
° Do not allow a film from the cleaner
to remain
on
the temperature
sensing
bulb--it
could cause the
oven to heat improperly.
(The bulb is located
at the
rear of the oven.) Carefully
wipe the bulb clean after
each oven cleaning,
being careful
not to move the
bulb as a change
in its position
could affect
how the
oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside
oven
door, handles
or any exterior
surface of the oven,
cabinets
or painted
surfaces. The cleaner
can damage
these surfaces.
