CONTINUOUS CLEANING
OVEN (if equipped) MANUALLY CLEANING HEAVYSPILLOVERS The special finish will clean most spatters during normal oven use unless there is a heavy buildup of soil. Heavy spillovers such as pie or casserole boilovers will not clean effectively without some manual help. The crusty or varnish-like stains that form from these spillovers clog the pores and prevent the special finish from being exposed to the hot oven air. This greatly reduces the cleaning effectiveness of the finish. Thesecrustyorvamish-likestainsmust either be removed or broken up before cleaning can effectively take place. TO MANUALLY CLEAN HEAVY SPILLOVERS Brush off heavy soil with a nylon brush or plastic pad. DO NOT USE paper towels, cloths or sponges for the oven wails are porous and particles of these materials will rub off on the walls. Rinse area with clear water only. HINTS Brittlecrusts or stains can be loosened byGENTLYtappingstainwithawoeden or plastic utensil. Brush away any loose soil that flakes off. Varnish type stains usually need to be softened with a small amount ofwater or damp cloth. Remaining soil will gradually reduce with continued oven use at normal baking ternperatures. WHAT IS THE CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVEN? The finish of the ContinuousCleaning Oven is identified byits dark gray color, and rough, porous texture. The rough texture prevents grease spatters from forming beads which run down the walls leaving unsightly streaks. Rather, the rough texture absorbs spatters and allows them to spread, thus exposing a larger area to the hot oven air. The catalyst, when exposed to heat, speeds the oxidation of soil. Cleaning action automatically begins whenever the oven isturned on for baking or roasting. The oven MUST be "on" for cleaning to take place. No cleaning will occur when the oven is off. The special catalytic finish must be exposed to hot oven air before soil will begin to gradually reduce in size. FACTORSAFFECTING LENGTH OF CLEANING TIME The higher the oven temperature, the faster the cleaning action. The length of cleaning time will depend on these factors: Type of soil, amount or size of soil, oven temperature and length of time oven is in use. Time mayvary from a few minutesto several hours, Soil deposited at the end of a cycle may stilt be visible. This will usually fade with continued oven use until the soil gradually disappears or can be wiped up maeuaily. The oven will appear presentably clean, even though some spatters may be present.

DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF OVEN CLEANER, POWDERED CLEANSERS, SOAP, DETERGENT OR PASTE ON ANY CONTINUOUS CLEANING SURFACE. ALSO, DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE MATERIALS, STEEL WOOL, SHARP INSTRUMENTS OR SCRAPERS FOR THEY WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH.

Avoid spillovers by using utensils that are large enough to hold food. A cookie sheet or piece of aluminum foil, just a littie larger than the pan, can be placedon the rack directly below the rack holding the utensil to catch spills.

Over a period ef time, wear marks may appear on the embossed rack supports. This is normal and results from sliding the racks in and out of the oven. Wear marks will not affect the cleaning action of the oven.
