OPEWT~G T~ SELF-CLEAN~G OVEN

Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours

Quick Reminder:

1.Latch the door.

2.Press the AUTO SELF CLEAN pad.

3.Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the Clean Time.

Before a Clean Cycle

The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven to cool before you can slide the door latch.

We recommend venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

1.Remove all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven— they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

2.To avoid heavy smoke in the kitchen during self- cleaning, wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. (If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self cleaning to prevent staining.) The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-clean oven. However, to help prevent heavy smoke caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you must first clean off the excess grease.

3.Clean spatters or spills on the oven front frame, and the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle. On these areas use detergent and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven door with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket— the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

4, Close the door and make sure the oven light

is off. If the oven light is not turned off, tie life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus the high clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
