Instructions

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 scouring 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.

NOTES:

■You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.

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

■If you have left the shelves in the oven during the self-clean cycle and they become hard to slide, apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel.

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the

correct time of day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A.If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you will not be able to set a delay-clean cycle to end at a specific time.

Q.Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven?

A.No cleaners or coatings should be used around any part of this oven. If you do use them and do not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q.What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?

A.This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the oven off. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the words “LOCKED DOOR” are off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q.Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear during cleaning normal?

A.Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A.Yes, there will be an odor during the first few cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

Q.What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled surface of my oven?

A.This is a normal condition, resulting from heating and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q.Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?

A.Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q.My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is the matter?

A.If you have left the oven shelves in the oven during many cleanings, the shelves will lose their luster and become hard to slide. To make shelves slide more easily wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.

Q.I have left my oven shelves in the oven during the self-clean cycle and they have become gray. Is this normal?

A.Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.
