Questions and Answers

Q. Why won’t my oven clean immediately even though I set all the time and clean knobs correctly?

A. Check to be sure your DELAYED START dial is set to the same time as the range clock. Also check to be sure LATCH HANDLE is moved to the right.

Q. If my oven clock is not working, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. No. Your Automatic Oven Timer uses the range clock to help start and stop your self-cleaning cycle.

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 wipe the oven absolutely clean, 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. After having just used the oven, the LOCKED light came on and I could not move the LATCH HANDLE. Why?

A. After several continuous high- temperature bakings or broilings, the LOCKED light may come on. The oven door can’t be latched for self-cleaning while the LOCKED light is on. If this happens, let the oven cool until the LOCKED light goes off. Then the oven door can be latched for self-cleaning.

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

A. This is caused by excessive soil, and you should switch the OVEN

SET knob to OFF. Open windows to rid 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” 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 maybe 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 enameled 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, oven shelves may become so clean they do not slide easily. If you wish shelves to slide more easily, dampen fingers with a small amount of cooking oil and rub lightly over sides of shelf where they contact shelf supports.

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

A.Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves may lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.
