Care and Cleaning - Oven

Self Cleaning the Oven	Our ovens feature 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.
	2.	Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean
		cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark fin-
		ish. See Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care.
