Self-Cleaning
Oven
A SeUfoCbaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth,
Adhere to the following
cJeaning precautions:
o
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the Self-Cbaning
oven,
o
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,
o
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket, Doing so
could cause damage,
o
Remove the broiler
pan and insert, aH utensils
and any aJuminum
foil
These items cannot withstand
high cteaning
temperatures.
o
Remove oven racks, If they are not removed during the Self-Cban 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 oven racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make
the racks glide easier into the rack position),
o
Remove any excessive
spiHovers
in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cbaning
cycle, To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth, Large
spiflovers 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 leave a dull spot even after cleaning,
o
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,
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned OFF, The elements
may still be hot and burns
may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently,
The bake element is designed to be
tired up using your hand from the front
of the bake element, This wiii allow
easier access to the oven bottom for
cleaning, Be careful not to raise the
element more than 4 or 5 inches from
the resting position,
NOTES: Prior to setting the SelfoClean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed, See additional cleaning information for the oven
door in the GeneraJ Care & Cleaning
section,
