Questions and Answers
Q. What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive
grease and you should switch the
OVEN SET Knob to OFF. Open
windows and doors to rid room of
smoke. Allow the oven to cool for at
least one hour before opening the
door. Wipe up the excess grease
and reset the clean cycle.
Q. Why did the Lock Light come on
when I first set the oven for CLEAN?
A. Lock Light glowing indicates that
oven is too hot. Turn OVEN SET
Knob to OFF and open oven door
to cool the internal cavity. After a
short period of time, reset controls
for cleaning.
Q. My oven shelves have become
gray after several cleanings. Is this
normal?
A. Yes. After many cleanings, the
shelves may lose some luster and
discolor to a deep gray color.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning.
A. Some types of soil will leave a
deposit which is ash. It can be re-
moved with a damp sponge or cloth.
Q. Why is there still some black soil
left after cleaning?
A. You did not time the oven to
clean long enough. This deposit will
be removed in later cleanings.
Q. If my oven clock is not working
can I still seif-clean my oven?
A. No. Your Automatic Oven Timer
uses the range clock to help start
and stop your self-cleaning cycle.
