Self=Cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal 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
self=dean
precautions:
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). 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.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and ANYALUHINUM
FOIL. These items cannot
withstand
high cleaning temperatures
and will
melt.
Completely
remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY
ACCESSORIES.
If the oven racks are not
removed they will lose their special coating
properties
and no longer slide in and out of the
oven cavity easily.
Remove any excessive
spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
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 leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
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. These areas are shown in white (See Fig. 1).
i;i
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.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated
room.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This ca n damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is
complete. The oven may still be VERY NOT.
