Care and Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven

Self-Clean CAUTIONS:

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

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

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

•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.

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

It is normal for excessive flare-ups, smoking and 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.

The cleaning time can be varied depending on the amount of soil. Press the appropriate number pads to set any amount of time between two and four hours. “2:00” hours of cleaning for light soil, up to “4:00” hours of cleaning for heavy soil.

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 temperatures and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during 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 bot- tom to prevent excessive smoking, flare-ups and flam- ing during the clean cycle.

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.
