Non-Self-Clean Oven Interior (onsomemodels)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel
finish on the inside of the oven--top,
bottom, sides, back and inside of the
door--will stay new-looking for years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when cleaning the oven.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may
require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled steel-wool pads may also
be used.
Oonot allow fondspillswith a highsugaroracid

Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a
shallow glass or pottery container in a
cold oven overnight.
The ammonia fumes will help loosen the
burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions.
