3. Hold the surface unit as level as possible
with the terminal just started into the

4. While pushing the surface unit terminal into
the receptacle, lift a little on the edge of
the unit nearest the receptacle.
5. When the terminal is pushed into the re-
ceptacle as far as it will go, the surface unit
will fit into the trim ring.
Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the
utensils on the surface units. They also help
catch spills. When they are kept clean, they
reflect heat better and look new longer.
If a trim ring gets discolored, some of the
utensils used may not be flat enough. Or
some may be too large for the surface unit.
In either case, some of the heat that is meant
to go into or around a utensil goes down
and heats the trim ring. This extra heat can
discolor it.

THE CONTINUOUS-CLEANING LEFT OVEN
Standard oven walls are coated with smooth porcelain-enamel. Your
continuous-cleaning oven walls are coated with a special, rougher
po:celain-enamel.
P fat spatter beads up on the smooth surface, but spreads out on the rougher
surface. The bead of fat chars and turns black. The spread-out fat gradually
burns away at medium to high baking temperatures (350 -475 F,176 -231 C) so
the oven can return to a presentably clean condition.

THE RIGHT OVEN SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
The self-cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before
you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the cycle
safely.
BEFORE YOU START
1. Clean areas that may not be cleaned
during the cycle. Use hot water and deter-
gent or a soapy steel-wool pad on...
l the frame around the oven
l the inside of the door, especially the part
outside the oven seal.
DO NOT try to clean the fiberglass seal. DO
NOT move it or bend it.
2. Remove any pots or pans you may have
stored in the oven. They can’t stand the
3. high heat. Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will
help reduce smoke during the cleaning
4. F?%zn racks on the top two guides. Put

HOW IT WORKS
During the self-cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than ii does
for baking or broiling...approximately 875 F (468’ C). This heat breaks
up grease and soil, and burns it off.
