Lower Oven Cleaning and Care

Self-Cleaning: Before and After

The lower oven features a pyrolytic self-cleaning mode. When set into the CLEAN mode, the oven reaches a high temperature that burns off the food soil.

As a safety feature, the oven door locks during SELF CLEAN to protect you from very high temperatures. Do not try to open the door during SELF CLEAN.

It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the CLEAN cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.

The oven light will not turn on when the oven is set for a clean cycle.

The microwave oven and warming drawer can be used while the oven is in the SELF CLEAN mode.

NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for self-cleaning, the oven may develop fine lines or surface roughness. This is a common condition and does not affect either the cooking or the cleaning performance of the oven.

BEFORE YOU SELF-CLEAN

1.Hand-clean the oven door edge, window, outer window frame, oven front frame and oven cavity edges (shaded areas below). They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use a soapy sponge or scrubber sponge that is safe for glass. Do not rub the gasket.

2.Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper towels. Gently lift up bake element if necessary.

3.Remove all utensils.

4.Remove oven racks. If the oven racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, they will permanently lose their shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. See the Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care, Pages 52-53.

5.Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel and the bulb and glass cover are in place, see Page 54.

6.Heat and odors are normal during the SELF-CLEAN cycle. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated.

7.CONFIRM THAT THE OVEN DOOR LOCKS and WILL NOT OPEN before starting the SELF-CLEAN mode. If the door does not lock, do not run Self-Clean; phone 800/735-4328.

AFTER SELF CLEAN

When the oven heat drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door lock will release and the door can be opened.

At the end of the CLEAN cycle, some grayÊ ash may remain inside the oven. TheÊ amount of ash depends on how heavilyÊ soiled the oven was before it was cleaned. It is easily removed, when the oven is cold, using a damp sponge or cloth. If the racks do not slide easily after being cleaned, lightly rub rack side rails with vegetable oil.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to let the glass in the oven door cool completely before wiping up any ash left from the clean cycle.
