Self-CleaningThe Oven

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

•Only one oven can be set to self clean at a time.The second oven cannot be used while one is self clean- ing.

•The microwave mode can be used when the Lower oven is self-cleaning.

•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.

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

BEFORE YOU SELF-CLEAN

1.Hand-clean the oven door edge, window, oven front frame and oven cavity edges (shaded areas below). They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or an S.O.S.® pad. DO NOT RUB THE

GASKET.
2. Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper towels.3.Remove all utensils.

4.Remove oven racks. If the oven racks are left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, they will permanently lose their shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish. See the Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care, Page 52-53.

5.Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel and the bulb and glass cover are in place, see Page 55.

6.Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated.

AFTER SELF-CLEAN

•At the end of the CLEAN cycle, gray ash remains inside the oven. The amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled the oven was before it was cleaned. It is easily removed,when the oven is cold,using a damp sponge or cloth. If the racks do not slide easily after being cleaned, lightly rub rack side rails with vegetable oil.

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.
