34 Care & Cleaning

Adhere to the Following Cleaning Precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot
to the touch. DO NOT leave a small children unattended near the appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the oven is turned off or else push CANCEL pad.
Wait until the oven is cool.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the
self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning
oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning
materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures)
which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with
damp cloth.
USING THE SELF-CLEAN FEATURE

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning

1. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before
starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot soapy
water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause smoke or a fire
when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface
as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see
illustration). These areas heat sufficiently during a self-clean
to burn soil on. Clean with hot soapy water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning
temperatures.
4. Oven racks and oven rack supports must be removed. If they
are not removed the self-cleaning cycle can not start and
“Remove Racks” will appears in the display indicating that
you must remove the racks and racks supports before
starting the clean cycle. When the cycle has finished and the
door can be opened replace the oven rack supports and oven
racks.
