Cleaning and care of the oven
96
Risk of injury caused by hot
surfaces.
At the end of the Self Clean program,
the oven will still be very hot. You
could burn yourself on the heating
elements, oven compartment, or
accessories.
Allow the heating elements, oven
compartment, and accessories to
cool down before removing any Self
Clean residues or oiling the side
runners.
Clean the oven compartment and
accessories suitable for the Self
Clean program to remove any Self
Clean residues (e.g., ash) that can
build up depending on the degree of
soiling in the oven compartment.
Add a few drops of heat-resistant
cooking oil to some kitchen paper
and use this to lubricate the side
runners.
Most soiling can be easily removed
using a clean, soft sponge and a mild
solution of warm water and liquid dish
soap.
Depending on how dirty the oven was
prior to cleaning, there may be a
visible layer of soiling across the inner
glass pane on the door. You can
remove this using the scouring side of
a dish sponge, a glass scraper, or with
a stainless-steel spiral pad and liquid
dish soap.
There is a fiberglass seal around the
oven compartment which seals the
inside of the glass oven door and
can be damaged by rubbing and
scouring.
Avoid cleaning the fiberglass seal.
The fiberglass seal is essential for
sealing the door properly.
Spilled fruit juices may cause lasting
discoloration of enameled surfaces.
This discoloration is permanent but
will not affect the properties of the
enamel.
Do not attempt to remove these
marks.
Self Clean interrupted
If the Self Clean program is cancelled,
the oven door will remain locked until
the temperature inside the oven drops
to below 535°F (280°C).
The following events will cause the Self
Clean program to stop:
- Turning the oven off.
If you turn the oven off,
Self clean
program cancelled
will appear on the
display.
- A power failure.
Once the power returns after a power
failure,
Self clean program cancelled
will
appear on the display.
The door will unlock once the
temperature in the oven has dropped
below 535°F (280°C), and the oven is
turned off.
