SECTION SIX: CARE AND MAINTENANCE

SELF CLEANING THE OVEN
To Set Self-Clean for the Large Main Self-Cleaning Oven
1. Press CLEAN Selector Button.
2. Set Thermostat to CLEAN.
L Cooling Blower turns on.
L OVEN ON light and HEATING light turn on.
L Lock light turns on.
L The door closing process takes approximately 60 seconds to
complete, at which time the door becomes locked.
AT THE END OF THE CLEAN CYCLE
The Clean cycle takes 4 to 5 hours to complete. The blower and the
OVEN ON light turn off when the cycle is finished.
1. Press OFF Selector Button.
L The door latch will open automatically when the oven is below
550˚F and the automatic Door Lock completes its 60 second
cycle to the OPEN position.
2. Turn Thermostat to OFF.
CLEANING HINTS
1. The porcelain enamel finish is acid resistant, but not acid proof. Acidic
foods, such as citric juices, tomatoes, rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk,
should be wiped up and not allowed to bake onto the porcelain during the
next use.
2. Remove the oven racks (and the rack slides for the 12" proofing
oven). See Racks, on Range Cleaning Chart, page 38.
3. The heating elements do not require cleaning; the elements burn
themselves clean when the oven is in use. Both elements are permanently
connected. The lower element is hinged and can be raised so the oven
bottom can be conveniently cleaned. It is not necessary to clean the
broiler shield above the broil element.
4. For the 12" oven, leave the removable oven liner in the bottom
of the oven while cleaning the side and rear walls. It can then be
removed for easier cleaning at the sink. The bottom of the oven can then
be wiped clean. See Oven Cavity, on Range Cleaning Chart, page 37.
5. Use care when cleaning the walls near the broiler shield.
