Cleaning the Range – Interior

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Self Clean.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning	clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning

CARE AND

Self Clean Mode

Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode. Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven interior. The oven door will lock when using this feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks. Shiny or silver racks and any cookware or other items should all be removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close the door. Press the Self Clean pad and a default self- clean time is displayed. The clean time can be changed to any time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours by using the number pads to enter a different time and pressing Start. For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press the Start pad immediately after pressing the Clean pad. The oven will turn off automatically when the self-clean cycle is complete. The door will stay locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.

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

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well- ventilated room.

On Some Models:

The surface units are automatically disabled during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle.

Any surface unit that is set to an “on” position while the self-clean cycle is operating will automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in an “on” unattended surface unit. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

To clean the oven floor when the bake element is exposed, gently lift the bake element. In some models, the bake element is not exposed and is under the oven

floor. Clean the oven floor with warm, soapy water. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
