The Continuous-Cleaning Oven
(Model SF335ESR/ER only)
Standard oven walls are coated with smooth porcelain. Your continuous-
cleaning oven walls are coated with a special, rougher porcelain. A fat spat-
ter beads up on the smooth surface, but spreads out on the rougher surface.
The bead of fat on the smooth surface chars and turns black. The spread-out
fat on the rough surface gmdually burns away at medlum to hlgh baklng
tempemtures so the oven can return to a presentably clean condition.
-
Using Foil
Tocatch sugar or starchy spills from pies and casseroles, use a piece of
heavy-duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on the lower rack, slightly larger
than the cooking container.
Cleaning Tips
1. The oven window and racks are not coated. Clean them by hand.
2. The oven door does not get as hot as the walls. Some hand cleaning may
be needed.
3. Use aluminum foil or a shallow pan according to instructions. Spill-overs
do not burn away and may stain the bottom.
