Manual-Clean Oven

(select models)

Clean as directed in the cleaning chart on pages 14-15.

Self-Clean Oven (select models)

A self-clean oven uses above normal cooking tempera-

tures to automatically clean the entire oven. The

separate clean cycle eliminates soil completely or

reduces it to a gray ash which is easily wiped up with a damp cloth when the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled.

It is better to dean the oven regularly than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soll in the oven.

It is normal for the eooktop, oven door and window to

become hot during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid touching these areas during a clean cycle. As tbe oven

heats and cools, you may hear the sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is not3na] and will not

damage your oven.

The first f_w times the oven is cleaned, some smok

and odor may be detected. This is normal and wi lessen or disappear with use. If the oven is heavil) soiled, smoke and odor are common. During th_ cleaning process the kitchen should be well ventilated.

The oven will automatie_ly begin to heat when the doe: is locked and the SELF CLEAN pad is pressed. When

the oven reaches cleaning temperature, the word "Lock" will light in the display. At this point, the

oven door cannot be manually opened.

To prevent damage to the door and lock lever, do not force the door open when the word "Lock" is displayed.

Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle

1.Remove oven racks and any pans, utensils or the broiler pan from the oven. The oven racks should be washed by hand. If left in the oven during the

self-dean cycle, the racks will become

permanently discolored and may not slide easily.

2.Clean the oven fi'ame and door frame with a non- abrasive cleaning agent such as Ben Ami, These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatnms and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle

3.Wipe up any excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking and flare- upsduring the clean cycle.

4.Wipe up acid spillovers such as lemon juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces and sugary spillovers. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acid spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.

5.Do not use oven eleaners or oven liner proteetlve coatings of any kind on the self-dean oven finish or around any part of the oven as they will damage the oven finish.

6.To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket on the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

7, Turn off the oven light before starting the self:-clean operation. If the oven light is left on dnring the cletm

cycle, the light bulb will burn out.
