More Information on the
Self-Cleaning Process
• A slight odor may be detected,and if an oven is heavilysoiled,some smoke
may bevisible.Somesmokeand odor duringthe cleaningprocessisa normal
occurrence. Since the oven vent is located under the air grille, vapors,
moisture,etc. may be seen coming from this area. If the odor is strong or
objectionable, turn on the ventilation systemto exhaustodors outdoors.
• During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed if an occasional flame is
visible through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that
was not removed before the oven was set to clean.
• SINCE THE DOOR AND WINDOW OF THE OVEN AND OVEN VENT WILL
GET WARM DURING THE SELF-CLEANING PROCESS,AVOID CONTACT,
• Some types of soil may disintegrate but leave a light film or heavier deposit
of ash. The amount of ash depends on the amount of soil which was in
the oven. After oven has cooled, this ash may be removed with a damp
sponge. If other dark depositsremain after wiping with a sponge,the time
set for the length of cleaning was not enough. Increasethe cleaningtime
for future cleanings or clean more frequently. The normal cleaningtime is
21/2 hours.A maximumof 4 hours may be selectedif necessary.
• If racks have been left in oven during the cleaning process, they should
be treated as follows.After the cleaningprocessis completedand the oven
has cooled, buff the undersideof rack edges with Scotch-Brite scour-pad
Or rub lightly the underside of rack edges with a coating of vegetableoil.
Use a light application of oil so it does not soil the oven. As a suggestion,
use fingertipsto apply oil. This will make the cleaned racks slide more easily.
• To remove occasional spillovers between cleanings, use a soap-filled scouring
pad or mild cleanser; rinse well.
• It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than wait until there is a heavy
build-up of soil in the oven.
• During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help
eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.
• Any attempt to force the self-clean DOOR LOCK LEVER to lock or unlock
without electric power applied to the door or with the TEMPERATUREknob
In any position other than CLEAN may result in damage to the door locking
mechanism.
• DO NOT USECOMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS IN OR AROUND THE SELF-
CLEANING OVEN AREA.
• DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL OR OTHER LINERS IN THE OVEN.
