Self-Cleaning

During the Self-Cleaning

cycle, the outside of the range can

become 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-Cleaning 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 range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven 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.

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:

•DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the Self-Cleaning oven.

•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 rub, damage or remove the gasket.

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

•Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil, These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

•Oven racks do not have to be removed. If they are not removed during the Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

•Remove any excessive spilJovers 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 orfire 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.
