Cleaning and Maintenance

•During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors will lessen with use.

•Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. The range can also be set to clean for 3 or 5 hours.

•The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.

•When the oven cools after cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and the door can be opened.

•To cancel or stop while the mode is operating, press OFF.

•The door will not unlock until the oven reaches a safe temperature.

Preparing the Oven for Self Clean

WARNING

A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean, rub, damage or move the gasket.

1.Remove all utensils and bakeware.

2.Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark fin- ish. See Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care.

3.Wipe up excessive soil, spills and grease before self-cleaning the oven. Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-clean- ing.

Do hand-clean 1 1/2 inches from rack guides to front of oven cavity.

Do not hand-clean the gasket.

Do hand-clean frame area outside the gasket.

Do hand-clean door area outside the gasket.

Figure 16: Cleaning Guidelines

4.Review illustration above. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or a deter- gent-filled S.O.S.® pad. Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front frame and up to 1-1/2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Do not clean or rub the gasket on the oven. The gasket is designed to hold in heat during the self-clean cycle. Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.

5.Be sure oven light is turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are in place. Do not operate oven without light bulb and cover in place.

Important: Do not use Commercial Oven Cleaners on the self-clean oven or any part because they will damage the finish or part.
