Care and Cleaning

warning

•Clean only the parts of the oven listed in this manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.

•To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your oven’s surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in this manual.

•To avoid burns, turn off the oven and make sure that all parts are cool before cleaning.

•To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads, on any part of the oven unless instructed to do so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush or nylon cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces of your oven.

•Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven. Steam could penetrate the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

•Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch your oven’s surfaces.

Your Oven’s Self-clean Feature

About the Self-clean Cycle

•The oven will run better and produce better baked goods when it is clean. During self- cleaning, the oven is heated to very high tempera- tures which burn off any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. Self-cleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. The self-clean process takes about 3 hours total.

•It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the first few Self Clean cycles. It is also normal for the oven to emit popping sounds during self-cleaning.

These sounds are caused by the expansion and con- traction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and cools down.

•Self-clean mode will not function if the meat probe is connected.

warning

•Always wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp cloth prior to using the self-clean cycle. Doing so will minimize smoke and increase efficiency. See proper cleaning instructions on this page.

•Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the Self Clean cycle. They will be hot.

•Items left in the oven (including the racks) during self-cleaning will become damaged or damage the oven.

How to Use the Self-Clean Feature

important

•The oven lights do not operate while the oven is in Self Clean mode to protect them from damage.

•Attempting to use Self Clean with the meat probe connected will cause an error signal to appear on the display.

•The control panel will only allow one oven chamber to be self-cleaned at a time due to the amount of power consumed. Also, you to cannot cook in one oven while the other is in Self Clean mode.

1.Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the convection filter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.), the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from the oven chamber. See page 39 for filter cleaning instructions.

2.Clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door outside of the door gasket. Rinse surfaces well with a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. Heav- ily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching scouring pad.

3.Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of water and mild soap.

warning

•Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal required for proper cooking and self-cleaning.

•Do not try to force the door open after it is locked. Damage to the door or latch may result.

4.Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the Self Clean cycle.

5.Make sure the oven door is shut.

6.Touch Upper or Lower Oven Menu to select the oven to be cleaned.

7. Touch Self Clean on the main menu.
