Tips
Your new oven features pyrolytic self cleaning. When set into the
Clean mode, the oven reaches a high temperature that burns off the
food soil
As a safety feature, the oven door locks during Self Clean to
protect you from very high temperatures. Do not try to open the
oven during Self Clean mode.
Only one oven can be set to self clean at a time. The second
oven cannot be used while one is self cleaning.
. It iscommonto see smokeand/oran occasionalflame-up during
the Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soi!
remaining in the oven. Ifa flame persists, turn offthe oven and
allow it to coo! before opening the door to wipe up the excessive
food soi!.
, The oven light wi!l not turn on when the oven is set for a clean
cycle.
, Do not use commercial oven cleaners as they may damage
finish or parts.
for Self Cleaning the
Before You Se f Clean
1. Hand clean the oven door edge, window, oven front frame and
oven cavity edges (shaded areas below). They do not get hot
enough during the cleaning cycle for soi! to burn away. Use a
soapy sponge, plastic scrubber or an S.O.S.® pad. DO NOT
RUB THE GASKET.
2. Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper towels.
3. Remove broiler pan, all utensils and bakeware.
4. Remove oven racks. If the oven racksare left in the oven during
a self cleaning cycle, they will permanently lose their shiny
finish and change to a dull dark finish. See Oven Cleaning for
proper care, Page 51.
NOTE: The Extendable Rack must be removed before a self
clean. The rack may not be usable if it is left in during self
clean.
5. Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel and the bulb
and glass cover are in place, see Page 53.
6. Heat and odors are normal during the Self Clean cycle. Keep
the kitchen well ventilated.
NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for self cleaning,
fine lines or surface roughness may develop in oven cavity.
This is a common condition and does not affect either the
cooking or the cleaning performance of the oven.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to let the
insidewindow glass in the oven door
cool completely before wiping up
any ash left from the clean cycle.
After Self C ean
• At the end of the Clean cycle, gray ash remains inside
the oven. The amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled
the oven was before it was cleaned. It is easily removed,
when the oven is cold, using a damp sponge or cloth. If
the racks do not slide easily after being cleaned, lightly
rub rack side rails with vegetable oil. Wipe off excess.
