Care and Cleaning - Oven

Self Cleaning the Oven	Our ovens feature a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
	involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high
	temperature to burn away food soil and grease.
	• Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.
	• Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.
	• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self-
	Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the
	oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening
	the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
	• The oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.
	• The oven light does not operate during this mode.
