8. aning Oven Works A standard oven has walls with a smooth porcelain enamel finish A Continuous Cleaning Oven also has a porcelain enamel finish with one important difference instead of being smooth like glass the walls of a Continuous Cleaning Oven are a little rougher like the surface of a brick A fat spatter will form a solid drop on a smooth surface But on the rougher surface in a Continuous Cleaning Oven a fat spatter spreads out to a very thin layer Think of the difference between a drop of water on a piece of waxed paper and one on a paper towel The water on the waxed paper will stay together in a bead The water on the rougher paper towel will spread out over a larger area This is about what happens to a fat spatter in a Continuous Cleaning Oven Instead of a bead of fat that turns into black _ charred material when heated the fat spatter spreads out Then when the oven is used for baking and roasting the fat gradually burns away The rougher surface returns to a presentably clean condition This is a gradual process it does not happen right away The walls continuously clean themselves but only when the oven is set for the medium to high temperatures during baking or roasting The oven can be presentably clean with little or no hand cleaning depending on how it is used The continuous cleaning process does not apply to uncoated parts like the lower oven window oven racks and the inside of the upper oven door So
