Oven Cleaning
Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven
(some models)
Adhere to the Following Cleaning Precautions
:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to
the touch. DO NOT leave a small children unattended near the appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off
or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until the oven is cool.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.
DO NOT
use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the
oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could
damage it. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may affect cooking
or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you
can whisk away with damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove any excess 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 tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These areas
heat sufficiently during a self-clean to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle, their colour will urn slightly dull. After
the cycle is completed and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount
of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide easier.
What to Expect during Cleaning:
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal
expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven
vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal
and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE:
A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colourless vapor.
