The health of some birds is
extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off:
during
the self=clean
cycle of any wall oven.
Move birds to another
well ventilated
room.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom
or any other
part of
the appliance
with aluminum
foil. Doing
so will destroy
heat distribution,
produce
poor baking
results and cause permanent
damage
to the interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface
of the oven).

Self-Cleaning
Oven
A Self=Cleaning
oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above
cooking
temperatures)
which
eliminate
soils completely
or reduces them
to a fine powdered
ash you can wipe away with a damp
cloth.
Adhere fo the foffowlng deanlng
precautions:
*
Allow
the oven to cool before cleaning.
*
Wear
rubber gloves when cleaning
any exterior parts of the oven
manually.
.
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 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 all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items canno_
wlfhsfand
high cleaning
temperatures.
*
Oven racks do not have to be removed,
but remaining
in the oven
during
the Self=Clean
will turn them slightly
blue and dull their finish.
If left in, after the cycle is complete
and the oven has cooled,
rub the
sides of the oven racks with wax
paper or a cloth containing
a small
amount
of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the
rack position).
*
Remove any excessive spilgovers 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 suflqcienfly
to burn soil on. Clean with soap
and water. DO NOT hand clean the oven door gasket.
NOTE: Prior to setting
the Self=Clean
cycle,
any spills remaining
on the
oven bottom
should be removed.
The oven bake and broil elements
may appear
to have
cooled
after they have been turned OFF. The elements
may stiff be ho_
and burns may occur if these elements
are touched
before they have
cooled
suflqcienfly.
