CAUTIONS:
• It is normal forparts of the range to
become hot during a clean cycle.
• Avoid touching cooktop, door, win-
dow, or oven vent area during a
clean cycle.
• Toprevent damage to oven door, do
not attempt to open the door when
the LOCK indicator light is fit.
• Do not use commercial oven clean-
ers on the self-clean oven finish or
around any part of the oven as they
will damage the finish or parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above normal
cooking
temperatures
to automatically
clean the entire oven interior.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or flam-
ing to occur during cleaning if the oven is
heavily soiled. It is better to clean tile oven
regularly rather than to wait until there is
a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen
should be well ventilated to help eliminate
normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before
Self..Cle r#rlg
Turn off the oven light before cleaning as
the light may burn out during the clean
cycle.
Remove broiler pan, all pans and tile oven
racks from the oven. The oven racks will
discolor and may not slide easily after a
self-clean cycle.
Clean oven
frame, door
frame (area
outside the
door
gas-
ket)
and
around the
opening
in
the door gasket with a nonabrasive
clean-
ing agent such as Bon Ami* or detergent
and water. These areas are not exposed
to cleaning temperatures
and should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking on
during the clean cycle.
To prevent damage, do not clean or rub
the gasket around the oven door. The
gasket is designed to seal in heat during
the clean cycle.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from
the oven bottom
to prevent
excessive
smoking, flare-ups and flaming during
the clean cycle.
Wipe up sugary
and acidic spillovers
such as sweet potatoes, tomato or milk-
based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid re-
sistant, not acid proof. The porcelain fin-
ish may discolor if acidic spills are not
wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.
Duri_Q_Cycle
When the LOCK indicator light is lit, the
door cannot be opened. To prevent dam-
age to door, do not force door open when
the LOCK indicator light is lit.
Some smoke and odor may be detected
the first few times the oven is cleaned.
This is normal and will lessen in time.
Smoke may also occur if oven is heavily
soiled or if broiler pan was left in oven.
As oven heats, you may hear sounds of
metal parts expanding
and contracting.
This is normal and will not damage oven.
After
Self.Cle dng
About one hour after the end of the clean
cycle, the LOCK indicator light will turn
off.. At this point, the door can be opened.
Some soil may leave a light gray, pow-
dery ash which can be removed with a
damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates
that the clean cycle was not long enough.
The soil will be removed during the next
clean cycle.
If the oven racks were left in the oven and
do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle,
wipe racks and embossed rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable
oil to
restore ease of movement.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain
resulting from the heating and cooling of
the finish. This is normal and will not af-
fect performance.
A white discoloration
may appear after
cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were
not wiped up before the clean cycle. This
discoloration
is normal and will NOT af-
fect performance.
