Self-Cleaning

Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle

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.

Figure 1

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. These temperatures are well above normal cooking temperatures.

1.Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

•Allow the oven to cool before pre-cleaning.

•Wear rubber gloves when cleaning and while wiping up the residue after the self- clean cycle.

•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.

2.Remove the Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Broiler Pan Insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

3.Oven racks should be removed, or else their finish will dull and their color turn slightly blue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then remove the racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier back into their positions).

4.Remove any excess spill-overs in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spill-overs 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 cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

5.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.

If at any time when setting the oven for the Self-Cleaning feature, the oven control continuously beeps and the display shows “dr”; close the oven door (See Figure 1).

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

The bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front of the bake element (See Fig. 2). This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
