Product Care
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 doo r 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 m elt 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” (5.1 cm) inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
WARNING
Make sureBURNall controlsOR areELECTRICAL“OFF” and ovenSHOCKis COOLHAZARDbefore 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.
