Oven Cleaning

How the Self-Cleaning Process Works

When the oven knobs are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures that are higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off and substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps t(_consume smoke. The oven is vented through an opening on top of the control panel.

How to Prepare Oven Before Operating

the Self-Cleaning Process

•Remove the roasting pan and any other utensils from the oven. These utensils can-

not withstand the high temperatures of the cleaning process.

•Clean spatters and spills from those areas which will not be cleaned during the self- cleaning process:

--center front of oven and door near open- ing in door gasket.

--porcelain oven door liner (area outside the door gasket). (See photo at right.)

--chrome finished oven front.

NOTE: DO NOT CLEAN the serial plate located on the oven front.

To clean, use hot water and detergent, non-abrasive cleansers or soap-filled steel wool pads (rub with the brushed grain on the oven front frame to prevent scratching). Rinse thoroughly, being careful not to use an excessive amount of water that would dampen the door gasket. Soil left in these areas will be more difficult to remove after the self-cleaning process since the high heat will bake on any soil that is present. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS TO CLEAN THESE AREAS.

•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, RUB, OR APPLY WATER TO GASKET ON OVEN DOOR. The gasket is essential for a good door seal. Rubbing or cleaning will damage the gasket and may affect the seal.

•Wipe up excess grease and food spillovers which have not baked on the bottom of the oven. Large accumulations of soil can cause heavy smoke or fire in the oven during the cleaning process.

•Although smoke or fire in the oven is a normal occurrence and there is no safety problem, there will be excessive venting of smoke and odor.
