Self Cleaning
SELF CLEAN function
In the self cleaning function, the oven is heated to very high temperatures burning off any residue on the oven interior.
The duration of the "SELF CLEAN" function will depend on the amount of soiling in the oven.
After the cleaning process, any burnt off debris (e.g. ash) can be easily wiped out with a damp sponge.
If the oven is not cleaned regularly, debris may become extremely difficult to remove even with the "SELF CLEAN" function.
Spilled fruit juices may permanently discolor surfaces. This discoloration is permanent but will not affect the efficiency of the enamel.
Automatic door lock
Due to the extremely high temperatures reached in the self cleaning function, the door will lock automatically after the first minute of the function.
The lock releases once cleaning has ended and the oven temperature has dropped below 535 °F (280 °C).
If "SELF CLEAN" is accidentally selected, shut off the oven and wait for the oven temperature to drop and for the door lock to release.
Before starting the "SELF CLEAN" function:
–Remove large pieces of debris and any puddles of grease from the oven interior. Debris and grease can ignite at high temperatures.
–Remove all accessories, but the side runners, from the oven. The high temperatures of this function will damage the accessories.
Touch the "SELF CLEAN" control.
Touch the "Start" or "Delayed Start" control.
"Start" will begin the function at once.
"Delayed Start" will begin the function once the entered delay time has elapsed.
When the function starts, the display shows "In Process" and the oven door will lock.
A tone will sound when the "SELF CLEAN" function has ended and "Ready" will appear in the display.
Once the oven has cooled, remove the ash with a damp sponge.
Avoid cleaning the gasket which seals the glass pane of the door. It is made from glass fiber and will be damaged if rubbed or scrubbed.
