Select 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 aftwerwards with a damp cloth.
The Select Clean function allows you to select 3 different
cleaning times from 2, 3 or 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning time
is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils
and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.
Read before starting Select Clean
Be sure to read all the following caution and important
statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:
!I_ DO NOT leave small children unattended
near the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the
outside of the range can become very hot to touch and can
cause burns.
!I_ DO NOT llne 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 interion
Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.
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 force the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door locking system.
Use caution when opening the oven door
after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and
can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side
of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or
steam to escape.
Important notes:
* Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY
ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid damage
to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they
may discolor.
. Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop including
cookware, utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum
foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self-clean
cycle and will melt.
" DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in
or around any part of the oven interior.
" 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). These areas
heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and
water prior to starting Select Clean (See Fig. 1).
* Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven
bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting
a self-clean cycle. To clean, use ha h 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
mill<, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even
after cleaning.
° DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). 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
to the door gasket.
