Self-cleaning
This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off
leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely powdered ash that you can
wipe away with a damp cloth.
CAUTION
•
Do not leave small children unattended near the range during the self-cleaning cycle. The
outside surfaces of the range can get extremely hot.
•
Some birds are extremely sensitive to fumes from a self-cleaning oven. Relocate birds to a
well-ventilated room away from the range.
•
Do not line the oven, oven racks, or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Doing so will result
in poor heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the
oven interior. The aluminum foil will melt onto and adhere to the interior oven surfaces.
•
Do not force the oven door open during the self-cleaning cycle. This will damage the
automatic door-locking system. The door automatically locks when the self-cleaning cycle is
started and stays locked until the cycle is cancelled and the oven temperature is below 400
°F.
•
Use caution when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. The gas oven will still
be VERY HOT and hot air and steam might escape when the door is open.
•
Wipe off any excess spillage before using the self-cleaning operation.
•
Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaners or oven liners should NEVER be used
in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the
oven during a self-cleaning operation.
To perform the self-cleaning cycle
Make sure the door lock is released. Remove all racks from the oven cavity.
