Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

•	DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective		coatings	in or around	any
	part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
•	DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
	gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
	damage or remove the gasket.
•	DO NOT use any cleaning	materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
	could cause damage.
•	Remove the broiler pan	and insert (some	models),	all utensils	and
	any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning
	temperatures.

•	Remove	the oven racks. If they are not removed during the Self-Clean
	cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the
	cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks
	with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will
	make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
•	Remove	any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the
	Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
	spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
	temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
	(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on

	the surface as they	may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
•	Clean any soil from	the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
	gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
	areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.
