Clean

Aself-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

IMPORTANT

Read before starting self-clean

•Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid possible damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

•Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self-clean cycle.

•DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self-clean temperatures in the oven can become hot enough to melt aluminum foil.

•DO NOT use or spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.

•Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas (See Fig. 1) heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water before starting self-clean.

•Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

•DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket.

CLEAN

CAUTION

•DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch.

•The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

•DO NOT force the oven door open when self-clean is active. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be

VERY HOT.

•The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The elements may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.

Fig. 1

(For models that have a visible bottom bake element ONLY): To help remove excessive spills from the oven bottom, the lower element may be tilted up from the front of the element.

Wait until the oven is completely cool and remove the bottom oven rack before attempting to raise the element. Do not to raise the lower element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
