Care & Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION

It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle.

To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open the door when LOCK is displayed.

Avoid touching cooktop, door, window or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the oven. They will damage the finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the oven interior.

The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not allow a heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Self-Cleaning

1.Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn out during the clean cycle.

2.Remove all pans and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self- clean cycle if they are not removed.

3.Clean oven frame, door frame, area

outside of gasket, and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self-cleaning process does not

clean these areas. They should be

cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window.)

4.To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5.Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom. This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle.

6.Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self-clean cycle.
