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 afterwards with a damp
cloth.
The Self Clean function allows you to set any amout of
cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning
time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light
soils and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.
Read before starting Self Clean
Be sure to read all the following caution and important
statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:
DO NOT leave small children
unattended near the appliance
. During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to
touch and can cause burns or serious injury.
REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and parts
before starting a self-clean cycle.
If the oven racks are
left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide
ability of the gliding racks will be damaged and will cause
all oven racks to loose their shiny finish and or turn blue.
Remove all oven racks and clean according to
instructions provided in the Care & Cleaning section of
this manual.
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 of the oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated
room.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range.
DO NOT force the oven door open.
This
can damage the automatic door locking system.
Use caution when opening the oven
door after self-cleaning
.
The oven may still be VERY
HOT
and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand
to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to
allow hot air or steam to escape.
To prepare for Self Clean:
Completely remove
ALL OVEN RACKS
and
ANY
ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY
to avoid
damage to oven racks
. If the oven racks are not
removed they may discolor.
Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop
including cookware, utensils and
ANY ALUMINUM
FOIL
. Aluminum foil will not withstand high
temperatures from a self-clean cycle and will melt.
DO NOT
use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings
in or around any part of the oven interior.
Self Clean
Fig. 1
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 (See Fig. 1). These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap
and water prior to starting Self Clean (See Fig. 1).
Oven light will not work during a Self Clean cycle.
Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven
bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting a
self-clean 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.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket
(See Fig. 1).
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 to the door gasket.
Setting Self Clean
Example To set Self Clean to start
immediately:
1. Be sure the oven is empty and
ALL
oven racks are
removed. Remove all items from the cooktop. Be sure
oven door is completely closed.
2. Press
Self Clean
keypad once for a default 3-hour
clean time. Press it again for the option of a 4-hour
clean time or a third time to give you the option of a 2-
hour clean time. Keep pressing the keypad to toggle
