Oven Cleaning
_l_rl!_T_J_During the self-cleaning
cycle,the outside of the range canbecome
very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave
small children unattended near the
appliance.
_!Ir_l_DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part
of the range with aluminum foil.
Doing so will destroy heat
distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent damage
to the oven interior (aluminum foil
will melt to the interior surface of the
oven).

Self-Cleaning Oven
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 wipe away with a damp cloth.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.
• Wear rubber gloveswhen precleaning and while wiping up the residue after
the self-clean cycle.
• DO NOT useoven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part
of the self-cleaning oven.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket isessential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or remove the gasket.
• DO NOT useany cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing socould
cause damage.
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3. Oven racks maybe left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the
clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the
cycle iscomplete and the oven hascooled, rub the sides of the rackswith wax
paper or a cloth containing asmall amount of baby oil or saladoil (this will make
the racks glide easierinto the rack position).
4. Removeany excessspillovers 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
spillswith a high sugar or acid content (such asmilk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface asthey may cause a dull spot even
after cleaning.
5. Clean any soilfrom 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.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessaryto stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive
smoke or fire:
1. PushCANCEL.
2. Once the oven hascooled down for about 1 HOURand the "LOCK" light has
gone out, the oven door can be opened.
_r_l'_ 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.
