Kenmore 790.7892, 790.7890 manual Self-Cleaning Oven

Self-Cleaning

During the self=cleanlng

cycle, the outside of the range can become

very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small

children unattended near the appliance.

v_ The health of some birds is

extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

DO NOT line the oven

walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so

will destroy 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 opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

The broil burner may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The burners may still be hot and burns may occur if these burners are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.

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 cleanlng precautions:

*Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

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

*DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.

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

*DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.

*Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

*Porcelain Coated Racks: Some ovens come 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.

*Before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle, hand dean 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. These surfaces are not in the self-cleaning area. Clean with soap and water. Burned-on residue can be cleaned off with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber. DO NOT hand clean the oven door gasket or it will be permanently damaged.
