Self-Clean Oven Cycle
Adhere to the Following Precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior part of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the oven wall can become very hot
to touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is
turned off or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until the oven iscool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the
self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.DO
NOT use aluminum foil to Linethe oven bottom. This may affect cooking, or the foil could melt
and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures)
which" eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wash away w th
damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Before starting the self-'clean cycle, remove excess spillovers in the oven cavity by using hot
soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to
high temperatures. DO NOT allow foo d spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface asthey may cause a
dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the inner door (see illustration to left). These areas
heat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water. Do
- n6t_:lean door seal because doing so can permanently damage it.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not withstand
high cleaning temperatures.
4. Remove racks from oven before self-cleaning. If they go through the clean cycle, their color
will turn slightly dull, and they will not glide easily in their slots. To make them glide easily,
wait until oven and racks are cool, then rub the racks or oven side walls with wax paper or
a cloth _-_o,,ntaining a small amount of baby or salad oil.
What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven self-cleans, it heatsto temperatures much higherthan those used in normal
cooking, Soundsof metal expansion and contraction are normal Odor isalso normal asthe
food soil isbeing removed Smoke may appear through the oven vent, locatedon the top of
the control panel.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke
and odor than usual. Thisis normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an
exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts the smoke from the self-cleaning process
into a colorless vapor.
The health of some birds isextremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.
