Fresh Clean
A fresh cleaning oven automatically cleans itself by using much
higher temperatures than those used for baking. The fresh
clean feature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a
fine powdered ash that, when the oven has cooled, can be
wiped away easily with a damp cloth.
The fresh clean function provides three different clean time
settings for fresh clean. Set clean for 2 hours for light, 3 hours
for normal, or 4 hours for heavier soils.
Before starting fresh clean:
Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
During the fresh clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become
very hot to touch and can cause burns.
Do not force the oven door open when fresh clean is active. This
can damage the automatic door-locking system. Use caution
when opening the door after fresh cleaning. The oven may still
be very hot and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand
to one side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot
air or steam to escape.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the fresh clean cycle of any range. Move birds to
another well-ventilated room.
Do not line the oven walls, oven racks, oven bottom or any other
part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so wilt stop heat distri-
bution, produce poor baking results, and may cause permanent
damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to a hot oven
surface during fresh clean.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The elements may still be hot
and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they
have cooled.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 30). The woven
material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove
the gasket. Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door
gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior. Residue from oven
cleaners may damage the porcelain during the next self-
clean cycle.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside
the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center
of the oven bottom (Figure 30). These areas heat suffi-
ciently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to
starting flesh clean.
IMPORTANT! The Luxury Glide
TM
oven rack must be removed
before starting fresh clean to avoid damaging the glide ability of
the rack. REMOVE RACKS wilt flash in the display for several
seconds as a reminder to remove the racks before starting a
fresh clean cycle (Figure 29).
Figure 29: Remove racks indicator
Remove all items from the oven including bakeware,
utensils, accessories, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil
will not withstand high temperatures from a fresh clean
cycle and will melt.
Remove all oven racks from the oven interior to avoid
possible damage. If the oven racks are not removed they
may discolor.
Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill
on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed
before starting a flesh clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy
water and a cloth. Large spill residue can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. Do not
allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as
milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even
after cleaning.
