Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day, you will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any part of this oven. If you do use them and do not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it absolutely clean afterward, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. Can I clean the woven gasket around the oven door?

A. No, this gasket is essential for a good oven seal, and care must be taken not to rub, damage or move this gasket.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil, and you should turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Allow the oven to cool for at least one hour before opening the door. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the ‘‘crackling’’ or “popping” sound I hear during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there will be a slight odor during the first few cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause an odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enamel surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition resulting from heating and cooling during cleaning. They do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit, which is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is the matter?

A. After many cleanings, the oven shelves will lose their luster and become hard to slide. To make the shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the self-cleaning cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-cleaning cycle, the shelves will have lost some luster and discolor to a deep gray.

Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven is self-cleaning?

A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use the cooktop just as you normally do. However, be careful when standing in front of the range—oven becomes very hot while self-cleaning.
