48 Care and Cleaning General Cleaning Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning specific parts of the oven. Follow these cleaning precautions: • Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. • Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually. Remove soils using hot, soapy water. 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 as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the effort required for major cleaning later. CAUTION Before manually cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. The oven may be hot and can cause burns. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before cleaning. Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation. Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean using oven cleaners. To remove heavy soil: 1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth. 2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaners. 3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth. Broiler Pan Cleaning Tips To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use oven mitts because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water. Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid. Figure 12: Broiler pan with insert
