Self-cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Your oven allows you to set 3 different self-cleaning cycle
durations. A 3-hour cleaning time is best used for normal
cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a 4-hour time
option for heavier burnt-on soils.
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
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.
Adhere to the following self-clean precautions:
• DO NOT
use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
• 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 (See
Fig. 1).
•
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These items
cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures
and will melt.
•
Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and
ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed they will loose their special coating
properties and no longer slide in and out of
the oven cavity effortlessly.
•
Remove any excessive spillovers.
Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
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. These areas are shown in white (See
Fig. 1).
