6. OVEN The finish of the Continuous Cleaning Oven is identified by its dark gray color white stipple and rough porous texture The rough texture prevents grease spatters from forming beads which run down the walls leaving unsightly streaks Rather the rough texture absorbs spatters and allows them to spread thus exposing a larger area to the hot oven air The catalyst when exposed to heat speeds the oxidation of soil Cleaning action automatically begins whenever the oven is turned on for baking or roasting The oven MUST be on for cleaning to take place No cleaning will occur when the oven is off The special catalytic finish must be exposed to hot oven air before soil will begin to gradually reduce in size FACTORS AFFECTING LENGTH OF CLEANING TIME The higher the oven temperature the faster the cleaning action The length of cleaning time will depend on these factors Type of soil amount or size of soil oven temperature and length of time oven is in use Time may vary from a few minutes to several hours Soil deposited at the end of a cycle may still be visible This will usually fade with continued oven use until the soil gradually disappears or can be wiped up manually The oven will appear presentably clean even though some Spatters may be present MANUALLY CLEANING HEAVY SPILLOVERS The special finish will clean most spatters during normal oven use unless there is a heavy buildup of soil Heavy spillovers s
