Care and Cleaning
WARNING
Clean only the parts of the range listed in this manual.
•
Clean them only in the manner specified.
To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your range’s
•
surfaces and accessories, use only the types of
cleaning solutions specified in this manual.
To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the burners
•
and oven and make sure that all parts are cool before
cleaning. DO NOT turn the burners on during cleaning.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range. Steam
•
could penetrate the electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
CAUTION
Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object
•
such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may
scratch your range’s surfaces.
To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive
•
cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring
pads, on any part of the range unless instructed to do
so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic
brush, or nylon cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces
of your range.
To keep the range looking and operating its best,
clean it after every use. Also, wipe up spills that
occur while cooking quickly. Be careful not to touch
any hot areas.
If you allow spills to sit on hot burner parts, they
will burn on and be very difficult to clean. Certain
types of food, such as tomatoes, citrus juices, vin-
egar, alcohol and milk can damage the finishes if
you allow them to stand for any length of time.
IMPORTANT
: The cooktop is exposed to extremely
high temperatures. The grates are under high
stress when hot utensils are placed on them. Also,
the range parts are occasionally exposed to acidic
food spill-overs. These severe operating conditions,
cause the porcelain enamel parts on your range to
undergo a change in appearance over time. If you
care for and clean these parts carefully, you will
slow down, but not eliminate, the aging process.
Self-Cleaning the Oven
WARNING
Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other
•
materials. These items can melt or burn during a
self-clean cycle, causing permanent damage to the
oven.
Do not operate the oven lights when the oven is in
•
self-clean mode. in the self-clean mode.
Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during
•
the Self-Clean cycle.
CAUTION
Do not leave the oven racks in the oven during the
•
self-clean cycle. Doing so will affect their ability to slide
in and out easily. If the racks are accidently left in the
oven during self-clean, polish rack edges with a soapy
steel wool pad, then apply a small amount of vegetable
oil to the edges so that the racks will slide more easily.
Do not try to force the door open after it is locked. You
•
may damage the automatic door latch.
About the Self-Clean Cycle
Your oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-
•
clean cycle to eliminate the need for difficult and
time-consuming manual scrubbing of interior
surfaces. During the self-clean cycle, the oven
reaches extremely high temperatures to burn off
soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in
the bottom of the oven after completion of the
self-clean cycle.
Self-clean time is variable from two to four hours
•
to offer flexibility in handling various conditions.
The 2-hour cycle normally handles a moderately
soiled oven. The 4-hour cycle is for heavy soil
conditions.
The self-clean cycle can also be delayed to start
•
at a later time if desired.
It is normal for some smoke to be emitted
•
during the first few self-clean cycles.
Popping sounds are normal during the self-clean
•
cycle. These sounds are caused by the expansion
and contraction of metal surfaces during heat-up
and cool-down.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
Clean soil from the oven front frame area and
1.
the oven door outside of the door gasket. Clean-
ing the door gasket by hand can cause it to bend
or move. A tight door seal is essential for proper
baking and self-cleaning. Rinse surfaces well
with a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe
dry. Heavily soiled areas may be cleaned with a
non-scratching scouring pad.
