Flex Clean

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away aftwerwards with a damp cloth.

The Flex Clean function allows you to set any amout of cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.

Read before starting Flex Clean

Be sure to read all the following caution and important statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:

DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.

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

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 force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system.

Use caution when opening the oven door after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

"DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.

"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 (See Fig. 1). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Flex Clean (See Fig. 1).

*Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting

a self-clean cycle. To clean, use ha h 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 mill<, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a duil spot even after cleaning.

°DO NOT cleon the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). The
