Self Cleaning - Kenmore 79071853300 Use & Care Manual

Self-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.
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 line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of
the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will 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).
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.

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.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
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. 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 any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
Oven racks should be removed. If they are not removed during 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).
Remove any excessive 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 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.
