Using the Self-Cleaning Cycle

The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand- cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the Self- Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use controls. Please review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotless.

Before you start

I

Hand-clean frame

DO NOT hand-clean seal

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make sure you:

l Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad for cleaning.

NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the seal. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting may result.

l Remove any pots and pans being stored in the oven.

NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan and grid in the oven if you have first removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning or in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not removed, too much smoking will occur.

l Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the Self- Cleaning cycle.

l Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will become harder to slide.

(See page 30.) If you clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.)

l Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.

WARNING

Burn Hazard

l Do not touch the oven during the Self- Cleaning cycle. It could burn you.

l Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Cleaners could produce hazardous fumes or damage the porcelain finish.

NOTES:

l Do not force the door lock. You could bend or break it. The door lock is designed to stay locked until the oven is cool enough to safely open. Wait until it opens.

l Do not block the vent during the Self- Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best cleaning results.

l Do not leave plastic utensils near the vent. They may melt.

l Do not leave any foil in the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and damage the oven surface.

. Make sure the oven light is off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keeping the oven light on will shorten bulb life.

l This oven is equipped with an internal cooling fan. You will hear a fan sound during a normal Self-Cleaning cycle. This fan comes on automatically to keep the electronic controls cool. Canceling the oven will not turn off this fan. It will con- tinue running until the electronic controls have cooled enough. The fan will then automatically turn off.
