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
sowill destroy heat 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 wipe 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.
•
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. Thewoven material ofthe 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 necessaryto stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive
smoke or fire:
1. Push CANCEL.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has
gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. Correct the condition
which caused the smoking.
4. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions
have been corrected.
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.
