Operating the Self=CJeaning Oven Norma CleaningTime: 4 hours
Before a Clean Cycle
Quick Reminder:
1. Prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Close and latch the oven door.
3. Press the CLEAN pad.
4. Press the INCREASE pad.
If you wish to change preset clean time of 4
hours, press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad
until the desired Stop Time appears in the display°
We recommend venting with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
1, Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven--they cannot
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven However they will darken, lose
their luster and become hard to slide°
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom If you use
soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to
prevent staining,

Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door out-
side the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-
clean cycle On these areas, use detergent and hot
water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse welt
with a vinegar and water solution_ This will help
prevent a brown residue from forming when the
oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the gasket.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean
the top, sides and outside front of the oven door
with soap and water,
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place°
Do not rub or clean the door gasket--the fiber-
glass material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion An intact, well-fitting oven
door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven
operation and good baking results. If you notice the
gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any
way or if it has become displaced on the door, you
should have it replaced.
4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven
light is off. If the oven light is not turned off,
the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may
burn out immediately, The door latches automati-
cally after the clean cycle is set
CAUTION: The grates and drip pans (on some
models) should never be cleaned in the self-clean-
ing oven.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.
