OVEN
OVEN INTERIOR
The oven interior and all removable parts clean much easier if a small dish of undiluted household ammonia is allowed to stand in it for several hours or overnight prior to washing. In most cases, cleaning can be completed with hot soapy water. Baking soda or a mild cleanser can be used on stubborn spots and stains. Soap filled steel wool pads may be used if well moistened and used gently.
Teflon-lined oven: Refer to range manufacturer’s instruction booklet.
OVEN WINDOWS
Oven windows are not removable in most ranges. Wash in place with mild detergent and water or a solution of baking soda and water (3 tablespoons to 1 cup water).
OVEN DOORS
Oven doors are removable on some ranges for easy cleaning. Also, once removed, access to the oven interior is easy. Refer to your range manufacturer’s manual regarding this feature.
OVEN BOTTOM
The oven bottom and oven racks are easily removed for cleaning at the sink in mild detergent and water. If necessary, clean with fine steel wool pads, rinse well and wipe dry. Be sure to replace in correct position for even heat distribution.
MEAT PROBE
A meat probe should not be immersed in water when cleaned. Wipe with a damp cloth.
A meat probe is a delicate instrument which should not be abused. When disconnecting the probe after cooking, grasp the plug on one end and the solid part of the probe on the other end. DO NOT PULL ON THE CABLE AT ANY TIME.
Also, the meat probe should not be stored in the oven or other parts of the range. Since the probe could become defective if it is exposed to 350 degrees or over, it should be stored at room temperature.
