Section Six: CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Self-Cleaning the Oven
LARGE MAIN OVEN
The self-cleaning
mode of your new range features
pyrolytic
self-cleaning.
When
set to the CLEAN
mode,
the
oven
reaches
a high
temperature,
approximately
830°F, that burns off the food soil.
When the oven is set for CLEAN, the cooktop
burners
and electric
griddle
may be used. The secondary
oven (48" Models),
and the grill cannot be used.
It is common
to see smoke
and/or
flames
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.
At the end of the CLEAN
cycle, some gray ash or
burned residue
may remain inside the oven.
This is
a mineral
deposit
that does
not burn or melt. 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, using a damp paper towel,
sponge,
or cloth.
Wipe off any smoke
residue that remains on the front
frame
with
Formula
409 ® or Fantastik ®. If stain
remains,
use a mild liquid cleanser.
The amount
of
smoke stain is directly
related to the amount
of food
soil left in the oven at the time of self-cleaning.
Clean
the oven often.
BEFORE
SELF
CLEANING
THE
OVEN
Wipe out puddles
of grease and any loose soil that can
be easily removed.
Remove
any soil that is outside
the door seal area.
This appliance
is designed
to clean the oven interior
and that portion of the door that is inside the oven. The
outer edges of the door and the oven cavity are not in
the cleaning
zone.
Wipe this area clean
BEFORE
SETTING
THE OVEN
TO SELF-CLEAN.
Be sure the light bulbs and glass covers
are in place.
Turn
on the ventilator
hood
above
the
range
and leave it on until the oven has
completed
the self-clean
cycle.
IMPORTANT:
For the
first
Self-Cleaning
cycle,
remove
small animals
and birds from
the kitchen
and surrounding
areas.
Open
a
nearby
window
for
additional
ventilation.
If another clean cycle is initiated at the end of a clean
cycle and the temperature
of the oven is still above
500 ° , the LED will start blinking to indicate the range
has not completely
cooled
down after the first cycle.
The oven cannot be used until the oven temperature
drops below 500 ° and the door is unlocked.
LOCK
When the CLEAN cycle starts, the LOCK light turns
on, and the automatic
door lock cycle begins.
The
temperature
gauge begins
to move to CLEAN
five
minutes
after the clean mode is initiated.
Check the
door when the LOCK light comes on to confirm that
it is locked. You can stop the clean cycle by selecting
the OFF position.
The lock light will turn off only after
the oven has cooled below 500°F, and the automatic
door lock has completed
its cycle tothe open position.
Make certain
that the oven door is locked at the
beginning
of the self-cleaning
