Preparing the Oven for Self Clean
English 28
•
The oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.
•
The oven light does not operate during this mode.
•
During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate
odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors will lessen with use.
•
Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. The range can also be set to clean
for 3 or 5 hours.
•
The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.
•
When the oven cools after cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and
the door can be opened.
•
To cancel or stop while the mode is operating, press OFF.
•
The door will not unlock until the oven reaches a safe temperature.
WARNING:
A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean, rub,
damage or move the gasket.
WARNING:
Avoid contact with range parts during self-clean cycle. Surfaces are HOT.
1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.
2. Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change to a dull dark fin-
ish. See "Cleaning Guide" on page 30 for proper care.
3. Wipe up excessive soil, spills and grease before self-cleaning the oven.
Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-clean-
ing.
Do not hand-clean
the gasket.
Do hand-clean frame
area outside the gasket.
Do hand-clean door
area outside the gasket.
4. Review illustration above. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand
before the cycle begins. Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or a deter-
gent-filled S.O.S.® pad. Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front frame
and up to 1-1/2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot water. Do not
clean or rub the gasket on the oven. The gasket is designed to hold in heat
during the self-clean cycle. Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.
5. Be sure oven light is turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are in
place. Do not operate oven without light bulb and cover in place.
Important: Do not use Commercial Oven Cleaners on the self-clean oven or any
part because they will damage the finish or part.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Do hand-clean 1 1/2 inches from
rack guides to front of oven cavity.
