Care & Cleaning
Adhere to the Following Cleaning Precautions
:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the
touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the oven is turned off or else push
CANCEL
pad. Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT
use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of
the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. DO
NOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT use
aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt and damage
the oven surface.
USING THE SELF-CLEAN FEATURE
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning:
1.
Remove any excess spillovers in the
oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning
cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a
cloth. Large spillovers can cause smoke or a
fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO
NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as
they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
2.
Clean any soil from the oven frame and
the door liner (see illustration). These areas
heat sufficiently during a self-clean to burn soil
on. Clean with hot soapy water.
3.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all
utensils and any foil. These items can not
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
4.
Oven racks and oven rack supports must
be removed. If they are not removed the self-
cleaning cycle can not start and Remove Racks
will appear in the display indicating that you
must remove the racks and racks supports. When the cycle has finished and the door can
be opened replace the oven rack supports and oven racks.
