Range - Cleaning a Continuous Clean Oven

Continuous clean ovens have a porous ceramic surface that tends to prevent grease spatters from forming beads or droplets while also "masking" any spills that have occurred. While we no longer offer ovens with a continuous cleaning surface, you might have an old range with this type of oven interior.

Cleaning the Continuous Clean Oven Interior

  1. Remove all cooking utensils and oven racks. Clean these by hand with soapy water and a scouring pad.
  2. Close the oven door and set the oven temperature control to Bake at 400° Fahrenheit.
  3. Allow the oven to run for at least 4 hours.
  4. Repeated cycles may be necessary before an improvement in appearance is noticed.

Heavy spills should be removed each time the oven is used as soon as possible after the oven has cooled. Use a small amount of water and a stiff nylon brush to remove soils. Follow by blotting the water up with a paper towel.

 

Do Not Use

  • Commercial oven cleaners
  • Soap or detergent
  • Silicone sprays
