Oven Cleaning

How the Self-Cleaning Process Works

When the oven controls are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures that are higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off and

substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps to consume normal amounts of smoke. The oven is vented at the bottom of the control panel.

NOTE: If two W131 ovens are mounted one above the other, self-clean one oven at a time for optimum cleaning results.

How to Prepare Oven Before Operating the

Self-Cleaning Process.

•Remove the roasting pan and any other utensils from the oven. These utensils cannot withstand the high temperatures of the cleaning process.

•Clean spatters and spills from those areas which will not be cleaned during the self-cleaning process:

center front of oven and door near opening in door gasket.

porcelain oven door liner (area outside the door gasket). oven front frame.

NOTE: DO NOT CLEAN serial plate located ./ on the oven door liner.

To clean these areas, use hot water and deter-

gent, nonabrasive	cleansers		or soap filled steel		__'	'	J	_"
to use an excessive amount of water that would
dampen the door gasket.		Soil left		in these areas
will be more difficult to		remove		after the self-	___"__

cleaning process since the high heat will bake on

any soil that is present. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS TO CLEAN THESE AREAS.

•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, RUB, OR APPLY WATER TO GASKET ON OVEN DOOR. The gasket is essential for a good door seal. Rubbing or cleaning will damage the gasket and may affect the seal.

•Wipe up excess grease and food spillovers which have not baked on the bottom of the oven. Large accumulations of soil can cause heavy smoke or fire in the oven during the cleaning process. For ease of cleaning, the heating element can be lifted slightly.
