Information
on the
Self-Cleaning
Process
• A slight odor may be detected, and if an oven is heavily soiled, some smoke
may be visible. Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal
occurrence.
Since the oven vent is located at the back of the range, vapors,
moisture, etc. may be seen coming
from this area. If the odor is strong or
objectionable,
turn on the ventilation system to exhaust odors outdoors.
•
During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed if an occasional flame is visible
through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that was not
removed before the oven was set to clean.
• SINCE THE DOOR AND WINDOW
OF THE OVEN AND OVEN VENT WILL
GET WARM DURING THE SELF-CLEANING
PROCESS, AVOID CONTACT.
• Some types of soil may disintegrate
but leave a light film or heavier deposit
of ash. The amount of ash depends on the amount of soil which was in the
oven. After oven has cooled, this ash may be removed with a damp sponge.
If other dark deposits remain after wiping with a sponge, the time set for the
length of cleaning
was not enough.
Increase the cleaning
time for future
cleanings
or clean more frequently.
The normal cleaning
time is 21/2 hours.
A maximum of 4 hours may be selected if necessary.
•
If racks have been left in oven during the cleaning process, they should
be
treated as follows. After the cleaning process is completed and the oven has
cooled, buff the underside
of rack edges with Scotch-Brite
scour-pad
or rub
lightly the underside of rack edges with a coating of vegetabJe oil. Use a light
application
of oil so it does not soil the oven. As a suggestion,
use fingertips
to apply oil. This will make the cleaned racks slide more easily.
• To remove occasional spillovers between cleanings, use a soap-filled
scouring
pad or mild cleanser; rinse well.
• It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than 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.
• DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL
OVEN CLEANERS
IN OR AROUND THE SELF-
CLEANING
OVEN AREA.
• DO NOT USE ALUMINUM
FOIL OR OTHER LINERS IN THE OVEN.
