OPEMT~G THE SELF-CLEAN~G OWN

Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours

Before a Clean Cycle

Quick Reminder:

1.Prepare the oven for cleaning.

2.Close the oven door.

3.Slide the latch handle to the right as far as it will go.

4.Press the CLEAN pad.

5.Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the Clean Time.

The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven to cool before ybu can slide ~he door latch.

1.Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven–they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be left in oven. They will discolor and become hard to slide after the self-clean cycle.

2.Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to prevent staining.

3. Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame (A),

and only that area on the oven door that is outside

the gasket. Do not clean the gasket. Use detergent

and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad,

then rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture.

This will help prevent a brown residue from

forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas

with a dry cloth. Never use a commercial oven

cleaner in or around the self-cleaning oven.

Clean top, sides and outside front of oven door with

soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven

cleaners.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover (D) is in place.

Do not let water run down through openings (C)

in the top of the door. To help prevent water

from getting in these slots when cleaning, open

the door as far as it will go.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket (B)—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-

efficient oven 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.

4. Close the door and make sure the oven light (D)

is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of

the bulb will be shortened or it may cause the bulb

to burn out immediately.

The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily.

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 temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Important

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.
