Tips for Self Cleaning the Oven
Your new oven features pyrolytic self cleaning. When set
into the Clean mode, the oven reaches a high tempera-
ture that burns off the food soil.
* As a safety feature, the oven door locks during Self
Clean to protect you from very high temperatures,
Do not try to open the oven during Self Clean mode,
, Only one oven can be set to self clean at a time, The
second oven cannot be used while one is self cleaning,
, It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-
up 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 soi!,
, The oven light will not turn on when the oven is set
for a clean cycle,
, Do not use commercial oven cleaners as they may
damage finish or parts,
NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for self
cleaning, fine lines or surface roughness may develop
in oven cavity. This is a common condition and does
not affect either the cooking or the cleaning
performance of the oven.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to let
the inside window glass in the
oven door cool completely
before wiping up any ash left
from the clean cycle,
Before You Self Clean
1. Hand clean the oven door edge, window, oven front
frame and oven cavity edges (shaded areas below).
They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle
for soil to burn away. Use a soapy sponge or plastic
scrubber or an S.O.S.® pad. DO NOT RUB THE
GASKET.
2. Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper towels.
3. Remove broiler pan, al! utensils and bakeware.
4. Remeve even racks. If the oven racks are left in
the oven during a self cleaning cycle, they will
permanently lose their shiny finish and change to a
dull dark finish. See Oven Cleaning for proper care,
Page 51.
NOTE: The Extendable Rack must be removed
before a self clean. The rack may not be usable if
it is left in during self clean.
5. Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel
and the bulb and glass cover are in place, see Page
53.
6. Heat and odors are normal during the Self Clean cycle.
Keep the kitchen well ventilated.
After Self Clean
, At the end of the Clean cycle, gray ash remains
inside the oven. 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 sponge or cloth. If the racks do not slide
easily after being cleaned, lightly rub rack side rails
with vegetable oil. Wipe off excess.
