Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of
day, can I still self-clean my oven?
A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day
you will not be able to set a delay-clean cycle to
end at a specific time.
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part
of my self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any
part of this oven. If you do use them and do not
thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it
absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically cleaned.
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs
during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the
room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled
and the word "LOCK" is off in the display. Wipe
up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle. Don't
wait too long between cleanings.
Q. Can I clean both ovens at the same time?
A. No. The control only allows one oven to clean
at a time.
Q. Is the "crackling" or "popping" sound I hear
during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and
cooling during both the cooking and cleaning
functions.
Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few
cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might
also cause a strong odor when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled
surface of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating
and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after
cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash.
It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.
What is the matter?
A. After many cleanings, the oven shelves will lose
their luster and become hard to slide. To make the
shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports
with cooking oil.
Q. oven shelves have become gray after the
My
self-clean cycle. Is this normal?
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will
lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.
