Kenmore 790.9622, 790.9631 Self-Cleaning Oven, Adhere to the following cleaning precautions

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 anotherwell- 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).

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.

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.

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

	NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
	bottom should be removed.
	Some models have an exposed Bake element in the lower oven cavity (See
	illustration at left).On these models the bake element is designed to be tilted up
	using your hand from the front of the bake element. This will allow easier
	access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element
	more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
