efore 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 rack, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be left in the oven, however, they will discolor and become hard to slide after the self-clean cycle.

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

to prevent staining.

B.Openings in Door

C.Oven Door Gasket

D.Oven Light

3.Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame (A), under the front edge of the oven vent, the door liner outside the door gasket and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1 inch into the oven).

Use detergent and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.

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

●Do not let water run down through the openings

(B)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.

●Do not rub or clean the door gasket (C)—

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.

4.Close the door and make sure the oven light (D) is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may cause the bulb to burn out immediately. The door will latch automatically when the CLEAN pad is pushed.

The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make shelves slide more easily.

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.

Important

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

1.Follow steps above to prepare the oven for cleaning.

2.Close the oven door.

3.Press the CLEAN pad.

4.Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired Clean Time is displayed.

Clean Time is normally 3 hours. You can change the Clean Time to anywhere between 2 and 4 hours, depending on how dirty the oven is.

The self-clean cycle will automatically begin after “CLEAN” is displayed. The words “ON” and “LOCK” will appear in the display. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCK light goes off.

5. When the LOCK light is off open the door.

NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on to cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
