Wall Oven Self-Cleaning Cycle

During the self=cleaning

cycle, the outside of the oven can be=

come very hot to the touch. DO NOT

leave small children unattended near the

appliance.

The health of some birds is

extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

DO NOT line the oven walls,

racks, bottom or any other part of the appli- ance with aluminum foil. Doing so will de- stroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).

DO NOT force the oven door

open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when open- ing the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth,

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

•Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

•Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

,,DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to_l rub, damage or remove the gasket.

,,DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. DoingS)

so could cause damage. _

,,Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil from the oven. Thes_j_? items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

,,This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.

,,Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

,,Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.
