Setting Oven Controls
Self Clean
During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of
the range can become very hot to the 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 clean 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 appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the 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 clean cycle is completed. The
oven may still be very hot.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear
to have cooled after the self clean is over and the door can be
opened. These elements may still be hot and burns may occur if
these elements are touched before they have cooled.
Figure 37: Care in cleaning oven by hand
Note: See additional cleaning information for the oven door in
the General Care and Cleaning section.
To avoid possible burns use care when opening
the oven door after the self cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to
escape.
Self Cleaning Oven
A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures (well
above normal 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 cleaning precautions:
Before starting the self clean cycle, hand 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.
Clean with soap and water. Burned-on residue can be
cleaned off with a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon
scrubber.
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. Wear rubber gloves
when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior.
Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 37). 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 all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items
cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
It is recommended that all oven racks and oven accessories
be removed before starting a self clean cycle to avoid
damage to the racks. This will ensure the glide ability of the
Glide rack and protect the bearings.
Remove any excess soil and debris from oven bottom
before starting self clean. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks,
which can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. So
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.
