Care & Cleaning

Self-Cleaning

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.

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.

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).

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be

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, all utensils and any aluminum foil.

These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

• Oven racks do not have to be removed. 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.

DO NOT HAND CLEAN SEAL

• 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.

What to Expect during Cleaning:

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contrac- tion are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.

Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.

Note: See additional cleaning information for the oven door in the General Care & Cleaning section.

To Set the Self-Clean Cycle

Refer to the Oven Control Guide for Self-Clean Cycle settings.
