CLEANING

Self-Clean Oven

A self-clean oven uses above normal

temperatures to automatically clean the entire oven. The separate clean cycle ehminates 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 normal for the oven door and window to become hot during a clean cycle. Therefore,

avoid touching these areas during a clean cycle. As the oven heats and cools, you may hear the

sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting,

This is 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 normal and will lessen or disappear with use. If the oven is heavily soiled, smoke and odor are common.

During the cleaning process the kitchen shonld 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 eleanlng

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-CleanCycle

1.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 after a clean cycle.

2. Clean the oven frame and door frame 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.Wipeupanyexcessgrebeorspilloversfrom

the oven bottom to prevent excessive smokil and flare-ups during the clean cycle.

4.Wipe up acid spillovers such as lemon juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces and suga spillovers. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acid spills are not wiped up.

5.Do not use oven cleaners or oven liner

protective eoatlngs of any kind on the self-dean oven finish or around any pai of the oven as they will damage the one;

finish.

6.To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the front oven frame. The

gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle,
