Seff-C_eaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above
cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them
to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth,
Adhere to the following cteaning precautions:
, Allow the oven to cool before cleaning,
, Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven
manually,
, DO NOT clean the oven door gasket, The woven material of the
oven door gasket is essential for a good seal, Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or remove the gasket,
, DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket, Doing
so could cause damage,
, Remove the searing grill, broiler pan and broiler pan insert, all
utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand
high cJeaning temperatures.
, This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can
remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle, Do not clean this
vegetable oil lubrication off the racks, It is important that the sides
of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil, To
maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable
oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or when the
rack becomes difficult to slide,
, Remove any excessive spiHovers 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 milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a
dull spot even after cleaning,
, Clean any 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 heat sufficiently to burn soil on, Clean with
soap and water,
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the
oven bottom should be removed,
if any time when setting the oven for the Self-Cleaning feature, the oven
control continuously beeps and the display shows "dr close the oven
door (see figure 1)
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned OFF, The eJements may still be
hot and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they
have cooled sufficiently,
