Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting self clean.
•
Failure to clean 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 are not in the
self-cleaning area, but they get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before
starting the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon
brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
Oven racks discolored or do not
slide easily
•
Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Always remove oven racks from oven
cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. Clean using a mild abrasive cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in oven.
Drip bowls are pitting or rusting
•
Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.
Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spill over.
•
Normal environment. Along coastal areas, houses are exposed to high salt content in
air. Protect bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to air with high salt content.
Drip bowls are turning color or
distorted
•
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface element and touches cooktop
surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip bowls. Do not use
cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the size of the element. Replace-
ment drip bowls may be purchased from your appliance dealer.
