SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Self Cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth. Self clean may be
programmed for 2 to 4 hours depending on the need for
deep cleaning.
Important: Please read all safety instructions and state-
ments before starting self clean.
Important:
• Do not use oven cleaners or protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior. Do not clean the
oven door gasket. Take care not to rub, damage, or
remove the gasket or use any cleaning substances on
the oven door gasket (See
Figure 6). Doing so could
cause damage and reduce the efficiency of the oven’s
performance.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, door liner outside
the oven door gasket, and the small area at the front
center of the oven bottom with soap and water (See
Figure 6). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on.
• Remove any excessive spills from the oven cavity
before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use
hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause
heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high tempera
-
tures. 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.
• Do not use aluminum foil or liners in the oven. These
items are not made to withstand the very high tempera
-
tures of a self-clean cycle and will melt.
• Remove all oven racks and accessories. If oven racks
are not removed before a self-clean, they will lose their
special coating and will no longer slide in and out of the
oven cavity effortlessly.
• Oven racks accidentally left in the oven during Self
Clean may be wiped down after cooling with a high-
temperature cooking oil to lubricate them.
• Do not attempt to open the oven door while it is locking.
This can ruin the door lock mechanism. Wait a full 15
seconds until the door lock icon stops flashing before
opening the door
To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven
door after the clean cycle. Stand to the side of the oven
when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to
escape.
Do not leave small children unattended near the
appliance during a clean cycle; the range may become
very hot to the touch.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other
part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will block
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).
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system.
