Care and cleaning

SELF CLEAN function

A self-clean cycle normally takes about five hours. This can be reduced to four hours, or anywhere in between four and five hours.

Only one oven in a double oven can be self-cleaned at a time.

When one oven is in a self-clean cycle, you cannot use the other oven.

Important!

Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.

Do not use oven cleaners. Do not use any commercial oven cleaner, oven liner or protective coating of any kind in or around any part of the oven.

During a self-clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children should be kept away.

Using the SELF CLEAN function

1Remove the oven shelves, side racks (see ‘Removing and replacing the sliding shelves and side racks’), and all other bakeware and utensils from the oven before using the SELF CLEAN function. If left in the oven, they will permanently discolor. The sliding oven shelves may also become stiff.

2Wipe up large food spills or grease deposits. If you don’t, the porcelain enamel will permanently discolor. This, however, will not affect the oven’s performance.

3Select the SELF CLEAN function by turning the function knob.

4Turn the temperature knob to its maximum position. will appear in the display and this will

change to when the cycle begins. The DOOR LOCK and CLEAN symbols will show in the clock display and the time remaining will count down.

For your safety, the door lock will automatically activate once you have selected the SELF CLEAN function and temperature.

5At the end of a self-clean cycle, the door will unlock and the DOOR LOCK symbol will disappear. The CLEAN symbol and 0:00 will flash in the clock display and CLEAN END will show in the function display until the oven is returned to manual operation – to do this, turn the function and temperature knobs to OFF.

6During SELF CLEAN, the soiling will be reduced to a small amount of gray ash. When the oven is cold, remove the ash with a small brush or dry cloth. Then wipe out the oven with a clean damp cloth and dry with a clean lint-free cloth.

7Replace the side racks and the sliding shelves (see ‘Removing and replacing the sliding shelves and side racks’).
