Seff-C eaning (comemodeUe)
Se_foC_eaning Oven
A SeUf-Cbaning oven deans itseUfwith high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils compbteUy or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth,
Adhere to the following cteaning precautions:
o AHow the oven to cooUbefore cbaning,
o Wear rubber gbves when cbaning any exterior parts of the oven manually,
o DO NOT clean the oven door gasket, 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,
o DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket, Doing so could
cause damage,
o Remove aH utensils and any aJuminum foit. These items cannot
withstand high cJeaning temperatures.
o Oven racks do not have to be removed, if they are not removed during the
Self=Cban cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull, If
left in, after the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of
the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad
oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position),
o Remove any excessive spiltovers in the oven cavity before starting the
Self=Charting 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 spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the
surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning,
o 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 bottom, These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on, Clean with soap and water,
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self=Chart cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed,
During the seff-cJeaning
cycJe, the outside of the wall oven can
become very hot tothetouch. DO NOT
teave small children unattended near
the appliance.
The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-dean cycle of any wall
oven, 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-Cbaning cycle is completed, The
oven may still be VERY HOT,
Some models have an exposed Bake element in the lower oven cavity, On these
models the bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the
front of the bake element, This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for
cleaning, Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the
resting position,
DO Hand
Clean Frame
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after __
they have been turned OFF, The elements may still be hot and burns may DO Hand
occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently,
What to Expect during Cleaning:
While the oven is inoperation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those
used in normal cooking, Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal, Odor
isalso normal as the food soil is being removed, Smoke may appear through the oven
vent,
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-cbaning cycle,
