locks off the useof the surface elements duringthe self-clean cycle. O ncethe ovencleaningcycleiscomplete and the ovendoor canbe

What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal
expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven
venL located on the top of the control panel.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal
and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colourless vapor.
Setting the Controls for a Clean Cycle
For the setting of the clean cycle, refer to the section on the timer or Electronic oven control.

cleaning of the panel.
To raise the cooktop, grab the sides and lift from the front. Use the two sliding wire supports
located on each side of the cooktop and pull them toward you, to the lock position, in order to
maintain the cooktop in the raised position while cleaning the panel.
Lower the cooktop slowly; be careful not to pinch fingers. Do not let the
cooktop fall freely, as this may damage the porcelain finish.
