Setting Oven
Controls
Self Clean
A self-cleaning
oven cleans
itself with
high temperatures
that
are well above
normal
cooking
temperatures.
The high cleaning
temperature
eliminates
soils completely
or reduces them to a
fine powdered
ash you can wipe
away
afterwards
with a damp
cloth.
The Self Clean
function
allows
you to set any amount
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 Self Clean
Be sure to read all the following
caution
and important
state-
ments BEFORE starting
the self-cleaning
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
note.
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
(Figure 51). These areas
heat sufficiently
to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water
prior to starting
Self Clean.
Remove any excessive
spill overs. 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 spill overs 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
(Figure 51). 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.
Figure 51: Areas to clean and to avoid
1.
