Page 14: General Cleaning
How the Cycle Works IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the time can be changed. - Page 15 (on some models) CERAMIC GLASS Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur. Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly to prevent streaking and staining. Cooktop Polishing Creme is recommended regularly to help prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions and to condition the cooktop, and can be ordered as an accessory.
