Oven Cleaning (continued)

Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (some models)

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

Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until 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 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.

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 heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juice or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull pot even after cleaning.

2.Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner. These areas heat sufficiently during a self-clean cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

3.Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not withstand high cleaning temperatures.

4.Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the lean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make racks glide easier.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CLEANING

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds or metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear though the oven vent.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
