Maytag CWE9030D, CWE9030B Cleaning, Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle

CLEANING

Self-Clean Oven

A self-clean oven uses above normal temperatures to automatically dean the entire oven. The separate clean cycle eliminates soil completely or reduces it to a gray ash which is easily wiped up with a damp cloth when the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled.

It is better to clean the oven regularly than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.

It is norural for the oven door and window to hecome hot

during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid touching these aretts during a dean cycle. As the oven heats and cools, you may hear the sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. Thisis normal and will not damage your wall oven.

The first few times the oven is cleaned, some smoke and

odor may be detected. This is nomad and will lessen or

disappear with use. If the oven is heavily soiled, smoke and odor are common. During the cleaning process the

kitchen should be well ventilated,

The oven will automatically begin to heat when the door is locked and the SELF CLEAN pad is pressed. When

the oven reaches deanlng temperature, the word "LOCK" will light in the display. At this point, the oven door cannot be manually opened,

To prevent damage to the door and lock lever, do not force the door open when the word "LOCK" is displayed,

Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle

l. Remove oven racks and any pans, utensils or the

broiler pan from the oven. The oven racks should be washed by hand. If left in the oven during the

self-clean cycle, the racks will become

permanently discolored and may not slide easily.

2. Clean the oven frame and door ffmne with a non-

abrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on

during the clean cycle,

3.Wipe up any excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking and llare- ups during the clean cycle.

4.Wipe up acid spillovers such as lemon juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces and suga_ spillovers. The porcelain finish may discolor if acid spills are not wiped up prior to a self-dean cycle.

5.Do not use oven cleaners or oven liner

protective coatings of any kind on the self-cleanoven finish or around any part of the oven as

they will damage the oven finish.

6.To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket on the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

7.Turn off the oven light before the self-clean operation. If the oven light is lef} on dnring the clean

cycle, the light bulb will bum out.

Setting the Controls for the Self-Clean

Cycle

i. Close the oven door and move"the door lock lever to the right until it rests in the lock position.

2.Press the SELF CLEAN pad. The words "SET CLEAN T1ME" will flash and "3:00" will appear in the display. Also, "CLEAN ON" will light as the oven hegins to heat.

The oven will automatically set a clean cycle of three

hours. A shorter ('2 hours) or longer (4 hours) clean cycle can be selected by pressing the SELF CLEAN

pad and pressing the • or • pad to select 2 to 4

hours.

3.Press the CLOCK pad and the current time of day will reappear in the clispla)_ "CLEAN" and "ON" will remain in the displav to show that the oven is in a clean cycle.

If the door is not locked properly, the word "door" will appear in the display and beeps will sound.

To Interrupt or Reset the Clean Cycle

If the internal lock has not engaged, the lock lever can be moved completely to the left to cancel the cycle.

If the internal lock has engaged, push the CANCEL pad. The door will not open until "LOCK" tunas off in

the display. At that time, the door lock lever can be returned to its original position and the door can be

opened. The oven will still be hot.
