Oven Cleaning; Front Frame - Roper F8858W0 Use And Care Manual

OVEN CLEANING
Take out the broiler pan and grid, oven racks, all utensils
and any foil that may be In the oven. If oven racks are left
in the range during a clean cycle, they will darken, lose
their shine and become hard to slide. If you wish to leave
the racks
in
the oven during the self-clean cycle you can
make them slide easier afterwards If you put a little
vegetable oil on the edges of the rack.
Soil on the oven front, the door liner, outside the door
seal and the front edge of the oven cavity (about 1" into
the oven) will not be cleaned during a clean cycle (See
illustration at right). Clean these areas by hand before
starting a clean cycle.
Use detergent and hot water with a soap-filled steel wool
pad, then rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture.
This will help prevent a brown film from 'forming when
the oven is heated
Wipe up heavy spitlovers on the oven bottom. Too much
soil may cause smoking during the clean cycle.
Clean the door seal by using a clean sponge to soak the
soiled area with hydrogen peroxrde. Repeated soaking
may be needed depending on the amount of soil. Clean-
ing often
will
prevent soil build up.
Do
not rub the door
seal. The fiberglass material of the seal has a very low
resistance to abrasion (rubbing). Any cotton material
especially (including cottonballs), can easily rub a hole
into the seal. Do not use any cotton materials lo clean
the seal. An Intact and well fitting oven door seal is need-
ed for energy efficient oven operation and good baking
results. If you notice the seal becoming worn, frayed or
damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the
door you should replace the seal.
DO NOT
use oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the
oven. These products plus the high temperature of the
clean cycle may damage the porcelain finish.
DO NOT clean glass ceramic cookware or any other
cookware in the oven during a self-clean cycle.
