Self Cleaning CJ Oven Care and Use Manual

Self-Cleaning the Ovens

Your new oven features two pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens. When using the CLEAN mode, the oven reaches a high temperature that burns off the food soil.

•Only one oven at a time can be set to self clean.

•It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the 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 light will not turn on when the oven is set for a clean cycle.

•Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel and the bulb and glass cover are in place, see Page 61.

•Heat and odors are normal during the self-cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated. During the first several times the oven is in the Self Clean mode, it is normal that the odors are more intense. This will lessen with use.

Preparing the Upper Oven for Self Clean

1.When oven is cold, remove all utensils, bakeware and oven rack.

2.If oven rack is left in the oven during the Self Clean cycle, it will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. See the Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care, Page 58.

3.To remove the Jet Plate, grasp and lift up the front tabs on the Jet Plate and pull it forward and out. Set the Jet Plate aside top rack supports. Moving Jet Plate above top rack position will help prevent the surface roughness created by the high temperatures.

4.Wipe up any soft soil spills and grease with paper towels.

NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for self-cleaning, the oven may develop fine lines or surface roughness. This does not affect either the cooking or the cleaning performance of the oven.

5.Put Jet Plate back in oven above the upper rack supports.

6.Hand clean the oven window using a soapy sponge or a detergent-filled S.O.S. pad. Do not rub the mesh gasket on door.

7.See Page 57 for setting Self Clean mode.

After Self Clean

•After Self Clean has completed and the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door lock will release and the door can be opened.

•After Self Clean, some gray ash remains inside the oven. It is easily removed with a damp sponge or cloth. When the oven is cold, lift out the Jet Plate and wipe off the Jet Plate and oven cavity. Place the Jet Plate in the oven bottom and replace oven rack.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to let the inside window glass in the oven door cool completely before wiping up any ash left from the clean cycle.

Remove oven rack before starting SELF CLEAN.

JetDirect Floor Plate: Lift out the Jet Plate by grasping the front tabs on each side and pulling it up and out. Place the Jet Direct Floor Plate above upper rack supports before starting SELF CLEAN.
