Oven Function: Self-Clean
Self-Clean Cycle eliminates the need for scrubbing and
scouring of oven surfaces. This oven design features a
pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. The oven attains very high
or elevated temperatures and burns off deposits and
soils. At the completion of the self-cleaning cycle, a
powder/ash residue is left inside the oven. When the
oven has cooled, use a damp cloth/sponge to remove
powder/ash from the oven surfaces.
Self-Clean Cycle:
A. Preparation for the Self-Clean Cycle:
• The high/elevated oven temperature may damage
utensils, oven racks and their supports, and other
items like aluminum foil, during the self-clean cycle.
Make sure all the items are removed from inside of
the oven before the start of Self-Clean Cycle.
• Any large spills inside the oven should be wiped off/
cleaned before the start of selfclean cycle. Do not
use oven cleaners.
• Use detergents and hot water to rinse/clean door
frame, door and inside of door.
B. During the Self-Clean Cycle:
CAUTION
• Do not touch the exterior of the oven during self-
clean cycle. This is due to the fact that some oven
exterior parts may become too hot to touch.
• Kitchen should be well ventilated during self-
clean cycle.
• Initial use of self-clean cycle(s) may cause some
odors due to curing of binder in oven insulation
which will disappear with time.
