Oven Cleaning - Self Clean

Range is equipped with a standard self clean feature. Self cleaning requires the use of the clock timer. Read and follow the safety and pre- cleaning instructions below. Then refer to “Clock and Oven Operation” section for self clean details and procedures.

Preparing Oven for Self Clean Cycle:

1.Remove cookware, oven racks and rack supports from the oven (if racks and rack supports are left in the oven, they will become discoloured and rough after cleaning, but it will not affect the protective coating).

2.Remove all utensils and food from cooktop.

3.Wipe up spills promptly to aoid excessive smoke during the cleaning cycle. Specially wipe up spills of sugar (i.e. pie fillings) and other carbohydrates (ie. casseroles) which became firmly attached to the surface and sometimes damage the porcelain enamel glaze as they are burned off.

4.Pre-clean areas not reached in the self cleaning cycle: the frame around the oven opening, the edge of the door outside the gasket and the edge of the oven door inner panel (areas shown shaded in figure 18).

5.Before commencing the self clean cycle, use hot water and detergent or a paste of baking soda and hot water on difficult spots; rinse well with vinegar water to remove all residue. This prevents this soil from being baked on during the high heat of the self cleaning cycle. Re-clean these areas after the cleaning cycle is complete.

DO NOT under any circumstance use a commercial oven cleaner, or surface coating for ovens on a self clean oven. This will damage the finish.

DO NOT clean the gasket.

DO NOT use surface elements while range is cleaning.
