CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR FINISH
When cool, the appliance can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed to a shine with a soft, heavy pile cloth. Always try this first, as it is the mildest form of cleaning.
1.Some brands of cleaners of the same type are harsher than others. Read their instructions. A scent or a propellant can make a difference in the product, read the ingredients. Try on a small inconspicuous area first.
2.On stainless steel models, to avoid marring the surface always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish (grain) lines. The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.
3.Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, or plastic
4.Be sure to rinse thoroughly and wipe dry to avoid water marks.
USING THE SELF CLEAN MODE:
When the oven is set to the Clean mode, the oven temperature will reach 850°F. This high temperature will cause food grime to burn off and disintegrate to ash which is easily wiped clean.
WARNING!
Allow the interior oven door glass to cool before wiping after a self clean cycle as the glass will be susceptible to breakage if wiped with a wet or damp cloth immediately after the clean cycle.
WARNING!
Do not leave the food probe in the oven during the self cleaning as the probe will be destroyed.
1.Remove the oven racks. The oven racks must not be left in the oven during self clean as the high temperature will destroy their chrome finish, preventing them from rolling freely.
2.Select the appropriate upper or lower oven Clean. The oven will display Time U or L Oven Clean (on a double oven).
3.Set the clean time. Press any number key, and 4:00 will be displayed. This is the maximum clean time. You may accept the default time or select any time between 2 and 4
hours. During the clean, the broiler and hidden bake element will operate. The oven cooling blower(s) will come on immediately when in Clean.
4.The door lock motor will then lock the door. In less than one minute, the words Lock and On will appear in the display. The door cannot be opened. The oven will heat to 850°F and at the end of the clean cycle, the oven will turn off. Lock will appear in the display until it is safe to open the door, at which time the door will automatically unlock.
