Oven Cleaning; How The Self Cleaning Process Works; How To Prepare Oven Before Operating The Self-Cleaning Process - Jenn-Air SVE47600 Use And Care Manual

When the oven controls are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures that are
higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off
and substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps to
consume normal amounts of smoke. The oven is vented through an opening under the
air grille.
• Remove the broiler pan and any other utensils from the oven. These utensils cannot
withstand the high temperatures of the cleaning process.
• Clean spatters and spills from those areas which will not be cleaned during the self-
cleaning process:
- center front of oven and door near opening in door gasket.
- porcelain oven door liner (area outside the door gasket).
- oven front frame.

Rinse thoroughly, being careful not to use an excessive
amount of water that would dampen the door gasket. _--_jj_h_._.-._\__/ i
Soil left in these areas will be more difficult to remove
after the self-cleaning process since the high heat will
bake on any soil that is present. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS
TO CLEAN THESE AREAS.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, RUB, OR APPLY WATER TO GASKET ON OVEN
DOOR. The gasket is essential for a good door seal. Rubbing or cleaning will
damage the gasket and may affect the seal.
• Wipe up excess grease and food spillovers which have not baked on the bottom of
the oven. Large accumulations of soil can cause heavy smoke or fire in the oven
during the cleaning process. For ease of cleaning, the heating element can be lifted
slightly.
• Although smoke or fire in the oven is a normal occurrence and there is no safety
problem, there will be venting of excessive smoke and odor.
• Remove the air grille before self-cleaning. Since the oven vent is located just
beneath the air grille, soot from the vent could discolor white colored air grilles.
