Basic Instructions; During Self-Cleaning; Before Self-Cleaning; After Self-Cleaning - Kenmore 30-inch electric wall ovens Owner's Manual

CAUTION:It is normal for parts of the wall oven to become !
hot during a clean cycle. Therefore, during a clean cycle, I
avoid touching the oven vent area, oven door and window. I
The self-clean oven uses temperatures above normal
cooking temperatures to automatically clean the entire oven
interior.
It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until
there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.
Turn off the oven light before a clean cycle. If the oven light is
left on, the light bulb will burn out during the clean cycle.

Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the
oven. The racks will discolor and may not slide easily
after a clean cycle.
Clean oven frame, door frame and around the oven vent with
a non-abrasive cleaning 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.
Wipe up excess grease o r spillovers from the oven bottom to
prevent excessive smoking and flare-ups during the clean
cycle.
Wipe up sugary spillovers and acid spillovers such as lemon
juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces. Porcelain
enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish
may discolor if acid spills are not wiped up immediately.
Do not use oven cleaners on the self-clean oven finish or
around any part of the oven as they willdamage the finish or
parts.
To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around
the oven door. The gasket isdesigned to seal in heat during
the clean cycle.

When the door is locked and the CLEAN button is pressed,
the oven wilt automatically begin to heat to cleaning
temperatures.
A fan will automatically turn on during the self-clean cycle
and wilt automatically turn off after the clean cycle when
the oven has cooled.
As the oven reaches cleaning temperatures, the LOCK
indicator will appear in the display to show that an internal
lock mechanism has engaged. At this point, the oven door
can not be unlocked and opened.
To prevent damage to the door and lock lever, do not force
the door open when the LOCK indicator is displayed.,
The first few 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, or if the
broiler pan was accidently left in the oven, smoke and odor
may occur.
As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage your appliance.

About one hour after the end of the clean cycle, the internal
lock will disengage and the LOCK indicator will turn off. At
this point, the door can be unlocked and opened. Move the
door lock lever to the left or unlocked position and open the
door. The oven may still be hot.
Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery 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 oilto restore ease
of movement.
Clean around the oven vent opening located above the oven
door if there is a deposit from the fumes vented during the
clean cycle. Use detergent and water and a cloth or
non-abrasive pad.
Fine, hair-like lines may appear in the oven interior or oven
door. This is a normal condition resulting from heating and
cooling of the porcelain finish. These lines do not affect the
performance of the oven.
