Care and Cleaning

warning

•Clean only the parts of the range listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.

•To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your range’s surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in this manual. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

•Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe up spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.

•To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads, on any part of the range unless instructed to do so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush or nylon cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces of your range.

•Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range. Steam could penetrate the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

•Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch your range’s surfaces.

•Always wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp cloth prior to using the self clean cycle. Doing so will minimize smoke and increase efficiency. See the proper cleaning instructions on this page.

•Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the self clean cycle. They will be hot.

•The racks, the convection filter, the meat probe or any other items left in the oven during self cleaning will become damaged or damage the oven.

•Use caution when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal required for proper cooking and self cleaning.

•During self cleaning, do not try to force the door open after it is locked to prevent damage.

•Ensure that the anti-tip bracket is engaged after the range is moved out for cleaning. Use a flashlight to look underneath the range and verify that the anti-tip bracket covers the rear leg when the range is moved back into place.

Your Oven’s Self Clean Feature

About the Self Clean Cycle

•The oven will run better and produce better baked goods when it is clean. During self cleaning, the oven is heated to very high temperatures which burn off any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. Self cleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. The self clean process takes about three hours.

•It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the first few self clean cycles. It is also normal for the oven to emit popping sounds during self cleaning.

These sounds are caused by the expansion and con- traction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and cools down.

•Self clean mode will not function if the meat probe is connected.

•Cooktop operation is not recommend when the self- clean feature is in use.

How to Use the Self Clean Feature

1.Before self cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the convection filter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.), the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from the oven chamber. See page 23 for instructions on how to remove and clean the filter.

2.Clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door outside of the door gasket. Rinse surfaces well with a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. Heav- ily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching scouring pad.

3.Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of water and mild soap.

4.Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the self clean cycle.

5.Make sure the oven door is shut.

6.Press the SELF CLEAN key, then press START ·

CONTINUE.

The control panel automatically locks the oven door during self cleaning. The latch prevents the door from being opened since the high interior oven temperatures can easily cause injury. If the door is not shut, an error mes- sage will appear on the display. To correct the problem, press CANCEL · SECURE and wait approximately

one minute, then close the door. When the door is properly closed, start the self clean process again.

The display shows the self clean cycle status:

•The clean symbol indicates that self clean is in process.

•The lock symbol indicates that the door is latched.

•“ON” indicates that the heating elements are on.

If you want to stop the self clean cycle, press the CANCEL · SECURE key. The oven door will remain locked until it is safe enough to open. The lock symbol will disap- pear from the display when the door lock is released. You will still need to exercise caution when the door lock is released because the inside of the oven may still be hot.
