11.3 Self clean function
With pyrolytic self cleaning the oven is heated to a very
high temperature. Stubborn soil is burnt off and can be
wiped out after self clean is finished.
After the completion of a self-clean cycle, the oven will not
allow you to start another self-clean cycle for 24 hours.
All surface elements are automatically disabled during Self
Clean. This is normal. Once the Self Clean cycle is com-
plete and the oven has cooled, the elements become op-
erable once again.
About self clean
Refer to the oven mode chart to see, if your range fea-
¡
tures the self clean feature.
→ "Oven heating modes and functions", Page 19
During self clean, the standard rangetop burners and
¡
the electric griddle or induction zone may be used. The
ExtraLow® burners cannot be used.
It is common to see smoke or flames during the self
¡
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.

Important notes:
DO NOT CLEAN USING THE SELF CLEAN FUNC-

Flat racks: If the flat racks remain in the oven during the
self clean mode, they will loose their shiny finish and
may not glide smoothly. If this happens, wipe the rack
edges with a small amount of vegetable oil. Then wipe
off excess oil.
Telescopic racks: Avoid getting cleansing powder in the
¡
telescopic slides. Re-lubrication may become necessary.
Use only high-temperature food-grade lubricants to re-lu-
bricate the slides.

CAUTION
Remove broiler pans, pots, and other utensils and excess
spillage before self-cleaning.
Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc., in the oven
during the pyrolytic self-cleaning mode of operation.
WARNING
Do not block or obstruct the flow of air through the ventila-
tion openings. The vent is located at the back of the appli-
ance. The vent needs to be unobstructed and open to pro-
vide necessary airflow that is important for proper perfor-
mance.
Do not touch the vent area while the appliance is on
▶
and for several minutes after the appliance is off. Some
parts of the vent and surrounding areas become hot
enough to cause burns. Allow appliance sufficient time
to cool before touching or cleaning vent areas.
Do not position plastic or other heat-sensitive items on
▶
or near the vent. These items could melt or ignite.
To provide proper ventilation of the range do not re-
▶
move range feet.
NOTICE:
Do not clean parts or accessories with the self clean func-
tion.
Remove all accessories, racks and rack guides from the
1.
oven.
