CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVEN (Conventional Upper Oven Only) HINTS Brittlecrusts or stains can be loosened by GENTLYtappingstainwitha wooden or plasticutensil. Brushaway any loose soil that flakes off. Varnish type stains usuallyneed to be softenedwith a small amount of water or damp cloth. Remaining soilwillgradually reducewith continued oven use at normal bakingtemperatures. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF OVEN CLEANER, POWDERED CLEANSERS, SOAP, DETERGENT OR PASTE ON ANY CQNTINUOUS CLEANING SURFACE. ALSO, DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE MATERIALS, STEEL WOOL, SHARP iNSTRUMENTS OR SCRAPERS FOR THEY WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH. WHAT IS THE CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVEN? The finish of the ContinuousCleaning Oven is identifiedby its dark graycolor, and rough,porous texture.The rough texture prevents grease spattersfrom forming beads which run downthe wails 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 is turned 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 graduallyreducein size. FACTORS AFFECTING LENGTH OF CLEANING TIME The higherthe oven temperature,the fasterthe cleaningaction.The length of cleaningtime will depend on these factors: Type of soil, amount or size of soil, oven temperature and length of time oven is in use. Time may vary from a few minutesto several hours. Soil deposited at the end of a cycle may still be visible. This will usually fade with continued oven use until the soil gradually disappears or can be wiped up manually. The oven will appear presentably clean, even though some spatters may be present. MANUALLY CLEANING HEAVY SPILLOVERS The specialfinish willclean most spatters during normal oven use unless there is a heavy buildupof soil. Heavy spillovers such as pie or casserole boilovers will not clean effectivelywithout some manual help. The crusty or varnish-like stains that form from these spillovers clogthe pores and preventthe special finish from being exposed to the hot oven air. This greatly reduces the cleaning effectiveness of the finish. Thesecrustyorvarnish-likestainsmust either be removed or broken up before cleaning can effectively take place. TO MANUALLY CLEAN HEAVY SPILLOVERS Brushoffheavysoilwitha nylonbrushor plastic pad.

Avoid spillovers by using utensilsthat are large enoughto hold food. A cookie sheetorpieceof aluminumfoil,just a littie largerthanthe pan, canbe placedon the rack directlybelowthe rack holding the utensilto catchspills. Over a period of 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,
