Seff-C_eaning Oven
A Self-Cbaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above
cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to
a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth,
Adhere to the following cteaning precautions:
o DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the Self-Cbaning oven.
o DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket.
o DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
o Remove the broiler par and insert, aH utensils and any aluminum
foil These items cannot withstand high cJeaning temperatures.
o Oven racks do not have to be removed, If they are not removed during
the Self-Cban cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will
be dull, If left in, after the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled,
rub the sides of the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a
small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the
rack position),
o Remove any excessive spiHovers in the oven cavity before starting
the Self-Cleaning cycle, To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth,
Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures, DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning,
o Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom, These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on, Clean with soap and water,
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the
oven bottom should be removed,
Note: See additional cleaning information
for the oven door in the GeneraJ Care &
Cleaning section.
