Oven Self-Cleaning.21-22 - KitchenAid KEBI141 Use And Care Manual

OVEN SELF-CLEANING
(Single/Gpper Oven Only)
The self-clean feature is designed to eliminate the need for scrubbing and scouring soil
baked onto the oven interior. Food spatters on the oven wall become harder to remove
each time the oven is heated, but because the Self-Clean Cycle heats these soils to a higher
temperature (850°F-900°F), soil is "burned off."
Your KitchenAid Oven offers four self-cleaning cycle combinations to give you excellent
flexibility when self-cleaning your oven. The Automatic Self-Clean Cycle features a preset
2'72 hour clean time—ample time to clean most ovens. This cycle can be extended up to 4
hours if a longer cleaning time is needed because of heavy soil buildup. The Automatic
Self-Clean Cycle can also be delayed to a more convenient time if desired. And, the delayed
cycle can also be extended for a longer cleaning time.
Before Starting a Self-Clean Cycle
1. Remove all items from the oven. Re¬
move oven racks according to instruc¬
tions on page 8. It is recommended that
the oven racks be removed as they will
discolor and darken during the self¬
clean cycle. If the oven racks remained
in the oven during the clean cycle, wipe
the sides with vegetable oil after clean¬
ing so they will slide easily. BROILER
PAM, BROILER GRID OR COOKING
UTENSILS SHOULD NOT BE
CLEANED IN THE OVEN. HEAVY
GREASE BUILDUP ON THESE ITEMS
WILL PRODUCE SMOKE AND ODORS
WHICH CAN BE DISCHARGED INTO
THE KITCHEN.
2. Wipe up large spillovers in the oven cavity with a damp cloth. NEVER USE CHEMICAL
OVEN CLEANERS INSIDE A SELF-CLEANING OVEN OR ON RAISED PORTION OF
THE DOOR.
The smoke eliminator will handle the normal flow of odors during the clean cycle, how¬
ever, minor smoke may be noticed when soil buildup is heavy.
3. Wipe soil from Oven Frame and Door outside of Gasket. Wash with detergent and hot
water, rinse well with a mixture of vinegar and water and wipe dry. A non-scratch scouring
pad may be used on heavily soiled areas. Wash surfaces frequently to minimize overall
cleaning as these areas are not cleaned during the self-clean cycle.
CAUTION: DO NOT SCRUB OR CLEAN OVEN DOOR GASKET. DAMAGE TO OVEN
SEAL MAY RESULT.
