Do not spray oven cleaner on the electricalcontrols and switches (on some models) becauseit could cause a short circuit and result in sparkingor fire. Do not allow a film from the cleaner to remain onthe temperature sensing bulb—it could cause theoven to heat improperly. (The bulb is located atthe rear of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulbclean after each oven cleaning, being careful notto move the bulb as a change in its position couldaffect how the oven bakes. Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outsideoven door, handles or any exterior surface of theoven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner candamage these surfaces.
