The introduction of the Kigh-temperatui e
self-cleaning oven a few years ago was a boom
to homemakers Now a low-temperature self
cleaning oven is available-in both gas and
electric ranges
The oven, operated at normal temperatures,
oxidizes soil continually as it is deposited
Cleaning occurs as the oven is used
Lew-temperature cleaning is made possible
by a specially developed catalytic system The
technique used to apply the catalyst is similar
to conventional enameling methods The finish
is hard but porous, peimitting fat dioplets and
other soil to be exposed to as much catalyst as
possible.
