Care and Cleaning - Oven

Self Cleaning the Oven

Our ovens feature a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor

 

involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high

 

temperature to burn away food soil and grease.

 

• Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.

 

• Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.

 

• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self-

 

Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the

 

oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening

 

the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.

 

• The oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.

 

• The oven light does not operate during this mode.
