Before
starting
self-clean
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.
Your oven allows you to set 3 different self-cleaning cycle
durations. A 3-hour cleaning time is best used for normal
cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a 4-hour time
option for heavier burnt-on soils.
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. The glass 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 agents on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could damage the gasket (Fig. 1).

Corn pletely remove all utensils, accessories
and
ANYALUMINUM
FOIL from oven. These items
cannot withstand
high self-clean temperatures
and will melt. Remove broil pan and insert (some
models).
Remove ALL OVEN RACKS. 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 effortlessly.
Remove any excessive
spillovers. Any spills,
especially those on the oven bottom, should be
wiped-up and removed before
starting
the self-
clean 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 (See Fig. 1; areas
shown in white). These areas heat sufficiently to burn
soil on. Clean with soap and water.
•
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the
range can become very hottothetouch.
DO NOT
leave small children unattended near the appliance.
During the self=clean cycle, DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the automatic door
locking system. To avoid possible burns use care
when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning
cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when
opening the door to allow hot air or steam to
escape.
•
Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be
sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is
COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
•
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the self-dean cycle of any
range. IVlovebirds to another well-ventilated
room.
