Your oven is cleaned by -heat (at temperatures
above usual cooking heats) which causes soil to
disappear from the oven. A device in the oven
further converts soil into an essentiallyodorless
and colorless vapor. A slight odor may be de-
tected, especially during the first few cleanings.

Ckming,
Check the IFdkwwing
OVEN FRAME AND DOOR LINER — Door
liner outside the woven gasket (see photograph
in front of book to identify) and the oven frame,
are sealed off from the oven during cleaning,
therefore, are not cleaned automatically. How-
ever, during cleaning these areas heat enough
to "bake on" soil present so it becomes harder
to clean. If these areas are soiled, remove before
cleaning automatically, using soap filled steel
wool pad, if necessary. Rinse thoroughly to re-
move soap before cleaning. DO NOT CLEAN
GASKET.
CARE OF WOVEN GASKET—On oven door,
the wovenfiber-glassgasketis essentialfor a good
oven seal. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT
TO RUB, DAMAGE OR MOVE THE GASKET.
DO NOT use any cleaning materialson the gas-
ket, and to do so might darnageit.
NO COMMERCIAL
OVEN CLEANER OR
OVEN LINER PROTECTIVE COATING OF
ANY KIND SHOULD BE USED IN OR
AROUND
ANY PART
OF THE SELF-
CLEAN OVEN. ALSO DO NOT USE PIECES
OF FOIL TO CATCH SPILLOVERS OR TO
DELAY
CLEANING
OF SELF-CLEAN
OVEN.

a.
During cleaning, shelves may become irides-
cent and may lose some luster. (Oven shelves
discolor to a deep gray after many cleanings.)
b. Oven shelvesmay become so clean that they
will not slide easily on shelf supports after self-
cleaning. To reduce this condition, dampen fin-
.-
gertips with small amount of cooking oil. Rub
lightly over right and left sides of shelves (where
27
m
they contact shelf supports). Use a light applic
tion of oil so it doesn't run down and soil ove
walls.
Self-Cieaning Oven IlhXes
ASH—Some types of soil, even though they dis-
integrate, will leave a deposit in the oven. This
appears as a light film or a darker, heavier ash,
depending upon the amount of soil which was
in the oven. This ash can be removed with a
wipe of a moist sponge or cloth. IF PART OF
A DARK DEPOSIT REMAINS AFTER WIP-
ING WITH A MOIST SPONGE, THE SELF
CLEANING OVEN WAS NOT TIMED LON
a
ENOUGH. The deposit will be removed in sub-
sequentcleanings.
HAIR-LIKE LINES may be noticed on the
gray enameledsurfaces of the self-cleaningoven.
This is a common condition, resultingfrom heat-
ing and cooling during cleaning. These lines do
not affect oven performance.
WHEN LOCK LIGHT GLOWS—If you cook at
high temperaturesjust before cleaning,the Lock
Light may glow when OVEN SET is switchedto
CLEAN. The glow indicates that the oven is too
hot for LATCH to be moved to CLEAN and the
oven must be cooled first. See preceding pages
for information on glowing Lock Light during
cleaning.
IF SMOKING OCCURS DURING CLEAN-
ING because of excessive grease in oven or
utensil being left in oven, DO NOT TRY TO
FORCE DOOR OPEN but follow these steps:
a. SWITCH OVEN SET TO OFF.
b. Open windows and door to rid the room of
smoke.
c. A11owoven to cool AT LEAST ONE HOUR
before opening the oven door.
d. Correct the condition which caused smoking
and start the self-cleaning oven operating again.
HEATING AND COOLING of metal during
cleaning or during cooking result in "crackling"
sounds which are considered normal.
