During the cleaning process, the
kitchen should be well ventilated to
help eliminate normal odors associ-
atedwith cleaning. Odorswill lessen
withuse.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or
flaming tooccur during cleaning ifthe
oven is heavily soiled. It is better to
clean the oven regularly rather than
towait untilthere is a heavy buildupof
soil.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers
to prevent flare-ups. For ease in
cleaning, the bake element in the
upper or lower oven can be lifted
slightly (1 to 11/2 inches).
Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers
such as sweet potatoes, tomato or
milk-based sauces prior to a self-
clean cycle. Porcelainenamel isacid
resistant, not acid proof and may
discolor if spills are not wiped up
before a self-clean cycle.
A white discoloration may appear af-
ter cleaning if acid or sugary foods
are not wiped up before the clean
cycle. This discoloration is normal
and will NOT affect performance.
