Care and Cleaning SEM/SEMW Oven Care and Use Manual

Self-Cleaning the Oven

Your new oven features pyrolytic Self-Cleaning. When set into the Clean mode, the oven reaches a high temperature that burns off the food soil.

•As a safety feature, the oven door locks during Self-Clean to protect you from very high tempera- tures. Do not try to open the oven during Self- Clean mode.

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

•Do not use commercial oven cleaners as they may damage finish or parts.

NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for self-cleaning, fine lines or surface roughness may develop in oven cavity. This is a common condition 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 broiler pan, all utensils and bakeware.

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 Oven Cleaning for proper care, Page 31.

NOTE: The Extendable Rack (C oven mod- els) must be removed before a self-clean. The rack may not be usable if it is left in during self-clean.

5.Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel and the bulb and glass cover are in place, see Page 33.

6.Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Clean 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 self-cleaned, lightly rub rack side rails with vegetable oil. Wipe off excess.
