Oven Cleaning (Continued)
Cleaning the Se[foC[ean Oven (some models)
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-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leavesmall
children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds isextremely sensitive to the fumes given off during tile self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control isturned off or else push CANCEL pad.
Wait until tile oven iscool.
DO NOT usecommercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self<leaning oven. DO NOT clean
the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door isessentialfor a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move
the gasket. DO NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self<leaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove all excessspillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self<lean-
ing 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 tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may
cause a dull spot even after (:leaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration).
These areasheat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycleto 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. If they go through
the clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle iscompleted
and the oven hascooled, rub the sides of the rackswith wax paper or a cloth
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 isin operation, the oven heatsto temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal
expansion and contraction are normal. Odor isalso normal asthe food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through tile
oven vent, located on tile top of the control panel.
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, usean exhaust fan during tile self-cleaning cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.
Setting the Controls for Self-Clean Cycle
Forthe setting of tile clean cycle, refer to Timer or Electronic Oven Control Guide.
