CARE & CLEANING

SELF-CLEAN OVEN

CAUTION:

•It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a clean cycle.

•Avoid touching cooktop, door, win- dow, or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

•To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open the door when the LOCK indicator word is displayed.

•Do not use commercial oven clean- ers on the self-clean oven finish or around any part of the oven as they will damage the finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle uses above normal cook- ing temperatures to automatically clean the entire oven interior.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.

Clean oven frame, door frame (area

outside the door gasket) and around the opening in the

door gasket with a

nonabrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle.

To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smok- ing, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle.

Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may

discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.

AFTER SELF-CLEANING

About one hour after the end of the clean cycle, the lock will disengage and the LOCK indicator word will turn off. At this point, the door can be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash which can be removed with a damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

If the oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle. This dis- coloration is normal and will NOT affect performance.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain re- sulting from the heating and cooling of the finish. This is normal and will not affect performance.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.

The cleaning time can be varied depending on the amount of soil. Press the appropriate number pads to set any amount of time between two and four hours. “2:00” hours of cleaning for light soil, up to “4:00” hours of cleaning for heavy soil.

DURING CLEAN CYCLE

When the LOCK indicator light is lit, the door cannot be opened. To prevent dam- age to door, do not force door open when the LOCK indicator light is lit.

Some smoke and odor may be detected the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time. Smoke may also occur if oven is heavily soiled or if broiler pan was left in oven.

SETTING THE CONTROLS FOR A SELF–CLEAN CYCLE:

1.	Close the oven door.
2.	Press the Clean pad.
	• The indicator word CLEAN will flash
	and “ – – : – –” will light in the display.
	• If the door has not been closed, “door”
	will light in the display and a signal will
	beep until the door is closed and the
	Clean pad is pressed again.

BEFORE SELF-CLEANING

Turn off the oven light before cleaning as the light may burn out during the clean cycle.

Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle.

As oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage oven.

3. Press Preset (0) pad for “3:00” hours of

cleaning time for an average soiled oven.

Or press the appropriate number pads

for the desired cleaning time between

two and four hours.
