Oven Cleaning
How the Self-Cleanlng Process Works
When the oven controls are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures that are
higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off
and substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps to
consume normal amounts of smoke. The oven is vented through an opening under the
ventilation grille on the top of the range.
How to Prepare Oven Before Operating
the Self-Cleaning Process
• Remove the roasting pan and any other utensils from the oven. These utensils
cannot withstand the high temperatures of the cleaning process.
• The oven racks and rack supports can be cleaned in the oven. However, the
oven racks will discolor, lose shininess, and become difficult to slide in and out if
left in the oven during the cleaning process. REMOVE RACKS FROM OVEN IF
THIS DISCOLORATION WILL BE OBJECTIONABLE. As a suggestion, do not
leave the racks in the oven during each self-cleaning process if they do not need
to be cleaned since they will discolor to a dull silver after many cleanings.
Moderately soiled racks can be cleaned with a soapy S.O.S. pad or Scotch-Brite
scour-pad. Stubborn stains need to be removed in the self-cleaning process. Be
sure to read special tips on page 37 if oven racks are cleaned during the self-
cleaning process.
• Clean spatters and spills from those areas which will not be cleaned during the
self-cleaning process:
--porcelain oven door liner (area outside
the door gasket).
--stainless steel oven front frame.
To clean these areas, use hot water and
detergent, nonabrasive cleansers or soap
filled steel wool pads (rub with the brushed
grain on the oven front frame to prevent
scratching). Rinse thoroughly, being careful
not to use an excessive amount of water
that would dampen the door gasket. Soilleft
in these areas wifl be more difficult to
remove after the self-cleaning process
since the high heat will bake on any soil that
is present. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL
OVEN CLEANERS TO CLEAN THESE AREAS.
• If you intend to use grill when cleaning the oven, make sure grease container is
empty to prevent a possible overflow.
