Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven (somemodels)
Adhere to the Following Cleaning Precautions:
•Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to
the touch. DO NOT leave a small children unattended near the appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control isturned off
or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until the oven iscool.
The health of some birds isextremely sensitive to the fu mesgiven off
during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOTcleanthe oven door gasket. Thegasket on the
oven door isessential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing socould
damage it. DO NOTusealuminum Foilto line the oven bottom. Thismay affect cooking
or Foilcould melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soilcompletely or reduce itto afine powdered ashyou
can whisk away with damp cloth.

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove any excess spillovers inthe oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning
cycle. Toclean, usehot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOTallow food spills with SideSwing Models
a high sugaror acid content (suchastomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surface asthey may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soilfrom the oven Frameand the door liner (seeillustration). Theseareas
heat sufficiently during a self=clean to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. Ifthey gothrough the clean cycle, their colour will urn slightly dull After
the cycle iscompleted and the oven hascooled, rub the sides of the rackswith wax paper or acloth containing a small amount
of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide easier.
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 asthe food soil isbeing 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 isnormal
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 most of the soil into a colourless vapor.
