Cleaning and Maintenance

Stainless Steel Parts

All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.

Broiler Pan and Grid

Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad.

Oven Racks

Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.

Power Failure

If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make sure the oven control is in the “OFF” position.

Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The range is affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the range will function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not affect range operation, depending on how severe the power loss is. If the range is in the self-clean cycle when the power failure occurs, wait until power is restored and allow door to unlock automatically. Turn all controls off and restart self-clean cycle again, according to instructions.

WARNING

POWER FAILURE WARNING

Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in attempting to light and extinguish the burner, the grill should, not under any circumstances, be used during a power failure. The grill burner control should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power failure.

Self-Clean Cycle

This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn-off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with the soil burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the self-clean setting. The latch ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.

Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:

1.Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven. The high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can discolor, warp, and damage these items. DO NOT use foil or liners in the oven. During the self-clean cycle, foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

2.Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions of the door.

3.Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very difficult to clean if not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

WARNING

BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

CAUTION

DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the binder in the high- density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-vented during the self-cleaning cycle.
