Self Cleaning the Oven

WARNING:

•During the elimination of soil during self- cleaning, small amounts of Carbon Monoxide can be created and the fiberglass insulation could give off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. To minimize exposure to these substances, provide good ventilation with an open window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.

•Do not block the oven vents(s) during the self-cleaning cycle. Always operate the unit according to the instructions in the manual.

•When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door does not lock, stop self-clean operation and contact service.

The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high temperature to burn away food soil and grease.

•Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.

•It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self- Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.

•The oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.

•The oven light does not operate during this mode.

•During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors will lessen with use.

•Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. The range can also be set to clean for 3 or 5 hours.

•The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.

•When the oven cools after cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and the door can be opened.

•To cancel or stop while the mode is operating, press OFF.

•The door will not unlock until the oven reaches a safe temperature.

Preparing the Oven for Self Clean WARNING:

A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean, rub, damage or move the gasket.

1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.
