Care And Cleaning - Thermador CM302 Care And Use Manual

Care and Cleaning

Your new oven features two pyrolytic self-cleaning
ovens. When set into the CLEAN mode, the oven
reaches a high temperature that burns off the food soil.
• As a safety feature, the oven door locks during SELF
CLEAN to protect you from very high temperatures.
Do not try to open the door during SELF CLEAN.
• Only one oven can be set to self clean at a time. The
second oven cannot be used while one is self-cleaning.
• The microwave mode can be used when the Lower
oven is self-cleaning.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-
up during the CLEAN cycle, depending on the content
and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame
persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before
opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
• The oven light will not turn on when the oven is set
for a clean cycle.
NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for
self-cleaning, the oven may develop fine lines or
surface roughness. This is a common condition
and does not affect either the cooking or the clean-
ing performance of the oven.
BEFORE YOU SELF CLEAN
1. Hand-clean the oven door edge, window, oven front
frame and oven cavity edges (shaded areas below).
They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle
for soil to burn away. Use a soapy sponge, plastic
scrubber or an S.O.S.
GASKET.

2 . Wipe up large overspills and grease with
paper towels.
3. Remove all utensils.
4. Remove oven racks. If the oven racks are left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, they
will permanently lose their shiny finish and
change to a dull dark finish. See the Oven
Cleaning Chart for proper care, Page 52-53.
5. Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel
and the bulb and glass cover are in place, see
Page 55.
6. Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated.
AFTER SELF CLEAN
• When the oven heat drops to a safe temperature,
the automatic door will release and the door can be
opened.
• At the end of the CLEAN cycle, gray ash remains
inside the oven. The amount of ash depends on how
heavily soiled the oven was before it was cleaned. It
is easily removed. When the oven is cold wipe with
a damp sponge or cloth. If the racks do not slide
easily after being cleaned, lightly rub rack side rails
with vegetable oil.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to let the inside win-
dow glass in the oven door cool completely
before wiping up any ash left from the clean
cycle.
