OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANINGOVEN

Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours

Before a Clean Cycle

The oven must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

We recommend venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self- clean cycle.

1.Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware

and any aluminum foil from the oven--they can't withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in

the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

2.Wipe up any spillovers, residue or ash. Gently lift

the bake element to wipe up the oven floor. Both the bake and broil elements are cleaned in the self-

clean cycle. If you use soap to wipe up any excess, rinse thoroughly to prevent staining during the clean cycle.

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and

the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door

outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self- clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.

Do not clean the gasket.

Clean the outside front of the oven door with soap and water. Also use soap and water to clean

under the oven vent grille. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasketm

the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for

energy-efficientoven operation and good baking

results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,

frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become

displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door.

4.Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately. The door latches automatically after the clean cycle is set.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus the high clean-cycle temperature may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
