SPECIAL TIPS

>,i

1.Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the cleaning cycle to help get rid of normal heat odors and smoke.

2.Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

3.If the cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you

expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough. Set the cleaning time longer for heavier soil.

4.Oven racks lose their shine, discolor and become harder to slide on their guides when they are left in the oven during the cleaning cycle. To make them slide easier, polish the edges of the racks and rack guides with a soapy steel-wool pad, rinse well, and wipe on a thin coat of salad oil.

5.To stop the cleaning cycle after it has started:

l Turn the Stop flrne Knob clockwise until the hand points to the right time of day.

l Turn the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to OFF.

l When the Lock Light turns off, move the Lock Lever back to the left. DO NOT FORCE IT.Wait until it moves easily

						HOW	IT WORKS
	During	the	self-cleaning			cycle,	the oven	gets much	hotter	than	it does
for	baking	or	broiling...approximately				875”	F (468” C). This		heat	breaks
up	grease	and		soil,	and	burns it off
	The graph		shows		approximate		temperatures	and	times during		a self-
cleaning		cycle		set	for two hours.

Notice that the heating stops when the two-hour setting is up, but that it takes a while longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
