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 oven can become very hot to the touch.
DO NOT leave 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.
DO NOT use commercial 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.

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 can not 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 appear in the display indicating that you must remove the racks and rack
supports. When the cycle has finished and the door can be opened replace the oven rack
supports and oven racks.
USING THE SELF-CLEAN FEATURE
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.
