Care and Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION:

•It is normal for parts of the wall oven to become hot during a clean cycle. Therefore, during a clean cycle, avoid touching the oven vent area, oven door and window.

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

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build- up of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the self-clean oven finish or around any part of the oven as they will damage the finish or parts.

Before Self-Cleaning

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

Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily

after a self-clean cycle.

Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside the door gasket) and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive clean- ing agent such as Bon Ami or de- tergent and water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning tempera- tures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on dur- ing the clean cycle.

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.

Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle. For ease of cleaning, the heating element can be lifted slightly (1 to 11/2 inches).

Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers such as sweet pota- toes, tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acid spills are not wiped up prior to a self-

clean cycle.
