Self Cleaning - Electrolux MFF3025 Use & Care Manual

SELF-CLEANING
Self-Cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans with temperatures well above
normal cooking temperatures. High temperatures eliminate
soils completely or reduce them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
IMPORTANT
Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).
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.
• 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. These areas
heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap
and water. These areas are shown in Fig. 1.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These items
cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures
and will melt.
• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and
ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed they will loose their special coating
properties and no longer slide in and out of
the oven cavity effortlessly.
• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean,
use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
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.

CAUTION
• DO NOT leave small children unattended near the
appliance.
• During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the
range can become very hot to the touch. Use
caution when opening the door after the Self-
Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
• 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
sufficiently.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-cleaning cycle
of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated
room.
• DO NOT force the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door locking system.
(For models that have a visible bottom bake
element ONLY):
The bake element is designed to be tilted up from the
front of the bake element. Remove the bottom rack before
raising the element. Do not to raise the element more than
4 or 5 inches from the resting position. The elements
may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements
are touched before they have cooled sufficiently.
