During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of
the range can become very hot to the touch.
DO NOT
leave
small children unattended near the appliance.
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
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 surface of the oven).
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills
remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.
The Bake element is located in the lower oven cavity (See
illustration at left).The bake element is designed to be tilted
up using your hand from the front of the bake element. This
will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning.
Remove the Bottom Rack before raising the element. Be
careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from
the resting position.
The oven
bake and broil elements
may appear to have
cooled after they have
been turned OFF.
The
elements may still be
hot
and burns may
occur if these elements
are touched before they
have cooled sufficiently.
Baking element
may be tilted about
4 or 5 inches
to clean oven bottom
Self-Cleaning
Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils
completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can
wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
•
DO NOT
use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings
in or around any part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
•
DO NOT
clean the oven door gasket. 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.
•
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and
any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand
high cleaning temperatures.
•
Oven racks do not have to be removed. If they are not
removed during the Self-Clean cycle their color will turn
slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is
complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the
oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide
easier into the rack position).
•
Remove any excessive spillovers
in the oven cavity
before
starting the Self-Cleaning 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.
•
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. These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
DO NOT
force the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution
when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is
completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
Choose a Self-Clean Cycle Time
Determine which Self-Clean Cycle time as required. Your
appliance comes with two choices;
(Speed Clean) for a
2 hour Self-Clean cycle (for lighter soils) or
(Clean) for
a 3 hour cycle (for heavier soils). To set for Self-Clean follow
the instructions provided below.
PLEASE NOTE:
The
kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open
window, ventitlation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st Self-
Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors
associated with the 1st Self-Clean cycle.
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle or a
Delayed Start Self-Clean Cycle:
(
Note:
If you do not want to start a
Delayed
Self-Clean
Cycle, skip steps 2 & 3.)
1.
Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2.
Press
. The "
:
" in the time of day will flash.
3.
Press and hold the
pad to scroll to the time to start
the delayed Self-Clean cycle. Release the pad when the
desired time is displayed.
