OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

(Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours)

Your double oven has controls for the upper oven and the lower oven. Be sure to set the correct control. Pads on the left side of the panel are for the upper oven. Pads on the right side of the panel are for the lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF, COOK TIME, STOP TIME, INCREASE and DECREASE pads can be used for either oven.

=You cannot clean both the upper and the lower ovens at the same time.

G You will not be able to use Time Bake in one oven and Self-Clean in the other at the same time.

Before a Clean Cycle

Quick Reminder:

1.Prepare the oven for cleaning.

2.Close the oven door.

3.Press the CLEAN pad.

4.Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the Clean Time.

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

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

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in

the self-cleaning oven. Howe~er, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

2.Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to prevent staining.

3.Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self- clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket. Never use a commercial oven cleaner in or around the self-cleaning oven.

Clean the outside front of the oven door with soap and water. Also use soap and water to clean under the oven vent grille. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket— the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door. To help prevent water from getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.

4.Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately. The door latches automatically after the clean cycle is set.

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 temperature may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
