Section SIX: CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Self-Cleaning the Oven
LARGE ELECTRIC 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 (Model PD48 only), 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.
If another clean cycle is initiated at the end of of a
clean cycle and the temperature or the oven is still
above 500 ° , the clean message in 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 to the open position.
Make certain that the oven door is locked at the
beginning of the self-cleaning cycle.
