Self-Clean Cycle
CAUTION:
Do not touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning cycle
has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may
be some odor and smoking from the "curing" of the binder in the
high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is
thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-
cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high
temperatures.
Keep the kitchen well-vented during the self-cleaning cycle.
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this
cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and
deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with
the soil burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven
after completion of the Self-Clean cycle. The door latch is automatically
activated after selecting the Self-Clean setting. The latch ensures that the
door cannot be opened while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.
WARNING: Do not use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven.
Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can
damage the porcelain finishes. Do not line the oven with
aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or
burn during a self-clean cycle, causing permanent damage to
the oven.
WARNING
Burn or Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
