Cleaning And Maintaining Your Oven - Dacor Wall Oven Use & Care Manual

Cleaning and maintaining Your Oven (Continued)
About the Self-Clean Cycle
• The oven will run better and produce better baked goods if it
is clean.
• During self-cleaning, the oven is heated to very high
temperatures which burns off any deposits on the surfaces
of the oven. Self-cleaning eliminates the need for manual
scrubbing of interior surfaces. You can set the length of time
for self-cleaning based on the amount of soil. The 3 settings
are light (2 hours), medium (3 hours), and heavy (4 hours).
• If you only use your oven to bake cookies occasionally, it may
require only a light cleaning. If you use your oven to broil or
roast on a frequent basis, it may require heavy cleaning.
• It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the first few
self-clean cycles.
• It is normal for the oven to emit popping sounds during self-
cleaning. These sounds are caused by the expansion and
contraction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and
cools down.
• When you self-clean your oven, it will automatically activate
the electric door latch. The latch prevents the oven door from
being opened while the interior oven temperatures can easily
cause injury.
•
You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of the
oven after self-cleaning. This is normal. Sponge the residue
up after the oven completely cools.
• If you have a double oven, the control panel will only allow
one oven chamber to be self-cleaned at a time due to the
amount of power consumed. For the same reason, the oven
will not allow you to cook in one oven chamber while the
other is being self-cleaned.
• If you want to stop the self-clean cycle, press the CANCEl/
SECURE key. Please keep in mind that the oven door will
remain locked until it is safe enough to open. You will still
need to exercise caution when the door lock is released
because the inside of the oven will still be hot.
how to Use the Self-Cleaning feature
ImpORTANT:
Remove the racks and broiler pan, convection filter, tray,
and all utensils from the oven chamber. See page 26 for
instructions on how to remove and clean the filter.
• Clean soil from the oven front frame area and the oven door
outside of the door gasket. You may clean heavily soiled
areas with a non-scratching scouring pad.
• Rinse all exterior surfaces according the Cleaning the
Surfaces of the Oven section on page 25.
• Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp
cloth. Doing so will minimize smoke and increase the
efficiency of the self-clean cycle.
• Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the
self-clean cycle.
• If you have a double oven, use the UppER ON/Off and
lOWER ON/Off keys to select the oven to be cleaned. You
may only self-clean one oven chamber at a time.
