SELF-CLEAN OVEN
20
S
It is normal for parts of the range to become hot
during a clean cycle.
S
Avoid touching cooktop, door, window, or oven
vent area during a clean cycle.
S
To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to
unlock the door when the LOCK indicator is dis-
played.
S
It is normal for excessive flare-ups and smoking to
occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled.
CAUTION
BEFORE CLEAN CYCLE
S
Remove pans, broiler pan, and
oven racks. Racks may discolor
and not slide easily after cleaning.
S
Clean window, oven frame and
door frame. These areas are not
exposed to cleaning temperatures;
soil may bake on during clean
cycle.
S
To prevent damage, do not clean
gasket located on oven door.
Gasket seals in heat during the
clean cycle.
S
To prevent excessive smoke or
flare-ups, wipe up excess grease
or spillovers from oven bottom.
S
Porcelain is acid resistant, not
acid proof and may discolor during
the clean cycle. To prevent or
reduce discoloration, wipe up
sugar or acid spills (lemon, milk,
barbecue sauce, cheese).
DURING CLEAN CYCLE
S
As oven heats, the LOCK indicator
will light in the display. At this
point, the door can not be
unlocked and opened.
S
To prevent damage to door or lock
lever, do not force door open
when the LOCK indicator is
displayed.
S
Some smoke and odor may be
detected the first few times the
oven is cleaned. This is normal
and will lessen in time.
S
Smoke may occur if oven is
heavily soiled or if broiler pan was
left in oven.
S
As oven heats, you may hear
sounds of metal parts expanding
and contracting. This is normal
and will not damage oven.
S
Slide-in ranges feature a cooling
fan that automatically turns on
during the clean cycle and will
automatically turn off after the
clean cycle when the oven has
cooled.
NOTE:
Contact authorized
servicer if fan does not turn on.
AFTER CLEAN CYCLE
S
The LOCK indicator will turn off
about one hour after clean cycle
ends. The door can be unlocked
and opened. Use care as oven
may still be hot.
S
A gray powdery ash may remain
on the oven bottom or walls. This
is normal. Use a damp cloth to
remove ash.
S
If soil remains, the clean cycle
may not have been long enough.
S
Wipe oven racks with a small
amount of vegetable oil if racks do
not slide easily after clean cycle.
S
Clean around oven vent opening if
there is a deposit from the fumes
vented during cleaning.
S
Fine lines may appear in the
porcelain. This is normal and
results from the heating and
cooling of the finish. This will not
affect oven performance.
S
A white discoloration may appear
after cleaning if acid soils (milk,
tomato, lemon, etc.) or sugary
soils were not wiped up before the
clean cycle. This discoloration is
normal and will not affect the
performance of the clean cycle.
CLEANING TIPS
S
Turn off oven light before cleaning as the light
may burn out during a clean cycle.
S
Clean oven regularly rather than allowing soil to
build-up.
S
Do not use oven cleaners in, on, or around any
part of the range as they will damage the finish or
parts.
