Instructions

Using the self-cleaning oven.

If your model has a door latch, never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

Operating Instructions Safety

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Before a Clean Cycle

The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you begin the self-clean cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A combination of any of these

products plus the high clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the top, sides and outside of the oven door with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven.

Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

Customer Service

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap- filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.

You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to be unlatched.

While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, press the COOKING TIME pad.

If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.
