Manual-Clean Oven
(select models)
Ch'an as directed in the cleaning ehart on pages 14-15.
Self-Clean Oven (select models)
A sellLclean oven uses above nornral cooking tempera-
tures to automatically clean the entire oven. The
separate clear) cycle eliminates soil completely or
reduces it to a gray ash which is easily wiped up with a
damp cloth when the cycle is complete and the oven has
cooled.
It is belier to clean the oven regularly than to wait
until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.
It is normal for the cooktop, oven door and window to
become hot during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid
touching these areas during a clean cycle. As the oven
heats and cools, you may hear the sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage your oven.
The first t_w times the oven is cleaned, some smoke
and odor may be detected. This is normal and will
lessen or disappear with use. If the oven is heavily
soiled, smoke and odor are common. During the
cleaning process the kitchen should be well ventilated.
The oven will antomatieally begin to heat when the door
is locked and the SELF CLEAN pad is pressed. When
the oven reaches cleaning temperature, the word
"LOCK" will light in the display. At this point, the
oven door eannot he manuany upened.
To prevent damage to the door and lock lever, do not
foree the door open when the word "LOCK" is
displayed.
DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANERS IN THE SELF-CLEAN OVEN.
Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle
.
Remove oven racks and any pans, utensils or the
broiler pan from the oven. The oven racks should be
washed by hand. If left in the oven during the
self-clean cycle, the racks will become
permanently discolored and may not slide
easily.
.
Clean the oven frame and door frame with a non-
abrasive cleaning agent such as Bou Ami. These
areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures and
should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on
during the clean cycle.
3. Wipe up any excess grease or spillovers from the
oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking and flare-
ups during the clean cycle.
4. Wipe up acid spillovcrs such as lemon juice, tomato
sauce or milk-based sauces and sugar" spillovers.
Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof.
The porcelain finish may discolor if add spills
are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.
5. Do not use oven cleaners or oven liner
protective coatings of any kind on the self-dean
oven finish or around any part of the oven as
they will damage the oven finish.
6. To prevent damage, do not clean or mh the gasket
on the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in
heat during the clean cycle.
7. Turn off the oven light heft)re starting the sell'clean
operation. If the oven light is left on during the clean
cycle, the light bnlh will bnrn ont.
