Flex 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 Flex Clean function
allows you to set any amout of
cleaning
time from 2 hours to 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 Flex Clean
Be sure to read all the following
caution and important
statements
BEFORE starting a self-clean
cycle:
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.
DO NOT line 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 interior.
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
Flex 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 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.
• 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.
