Oven Cleaning - Frigidaire Professional Series Owner's Manual

Oven Cleaning

During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can become
very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave
small children unattended near the
appliance.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other
part of the range with aluminum foil.
Doing so will destroy
distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).
Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash
you can whisk away with a damp cloth.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue after
the self-clean cycle.
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part
of the self-cleaning oven.
heat
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. 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.
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items
cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the
clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the
cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax
paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make
the racks glide easier into the rack position).
4. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity 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 cause a dull spot even after
cleaning.
5. 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.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive
smoke or fire:
1. Push the CANCEL button.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR and the word "LOCKED" shown
in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic
door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the
self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
