Oven CReaning
Seff°CWean Oven Cycle
Adhere to the Following Precautions:
Ailow the oven to cooi before cieaning,
Wear rubber gioves when cieaning any exterior part of the oven manualiy,
Before cieaning any part of the oven, be sure the eHectronb oven
controi is turned off or eise press CANCEL pad, Wait until the oven is cool
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 line the 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 with damp cloth,
Preparing the Oven for Seff-C_eaning
1, Before starting the seif-ciean cycie, remove excess spHiovers in the oven cavity
by using hot soapy water and a cioth, Large spHiovers can cause heavy smoke or
fire when subjected to high temperatures, DO NOT allow food spilis with a high
sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie flirting) to
remain on the surface as they may cause a duli spot even after cieaning,
2, Ciean any soii from the oven frame and the inner door (see illustration to Heft),
These areas heat sufficientiy during seif-cieaning cycie to burn soii on, Ciean with
soap and water, Do not clean door seai because doing so can permanentiy
damage it,
3, Remove the broiler pan and insert, ali utensiis and any foil These items do not
withstand high cieaning temperatures,
4, Remove racks from oven before seif-cieaning, if they go through the clean cycie,
their color wili turn siightiy duli, and they wili not giide easiiy in their shots, To
make them giide easiiy, wait untii oven and racks are cool then rub the racks or
oven side walis with wax paper or a cioth containing a smali amount of baby or
salad oil,
What to Expect During C_eaning
While the oven seif-cieans, it heats to temperatures much higher than those used in
normai cooking, Sounds of metai expansion and contraction are normal Odor is aiso
normai as the food soii is being removed, Smoke may appear through the oven vent,
iocated on the top of the controi panel
if heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more
smoke and odor than usual, This is 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,
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,
The health of
some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range, Move birds
to another well ventilated room,
DO NOT line
the oven walls, racks, bottom
or any other part of the range
with aluminum foil, Doing so
wiii destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results
and cause permanent
damamge to the oven interior
aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven),
DO NOT force
the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door
locking system, Use caution
when opening the door after
the self-cleaning cycle is
completed, The oven may still
be VERY HOT,
