CARE AND CLEANING
Using the CLEAN cycle
About the CLEAN cycle
●
Main ovens in RDV2 models feature a self-cleaning cycle (CLEAN) which takes
care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning.
During self-cleaning, the oven reaches very high temperatures. This burns off and
breaks down food soils and grease deposits. All that remains is a clean oven cavity
with a little gray ash which you can easily remove.
●
A CLEAN cycle lasts about 5 hours, plus an additional cool-down time of up to
30 minutes (this may vary). During a CLEAN cycle, the oven door will be locked
and only the cooktop burners may be used. The secondary oven, grill, and griddle
cannot be used.
●
A CLEAN cycle is designed to clean the oven interior and the portion of the door
exposed to the oven interior. The outer edge of the door and the oven frame will
need to be cleaned manually.
●
During a CLEAN cycle you may see occasional, brief glowing in the oven as soiling
is getting incinerated, especially if the oven was heavily soiled. This is normal.
However, if there is excessive smoking or you see flames in the oven, cancel the cycle,
wait for the oven to cool down completely, then wipe up the excessive food soil.
See ‘To cancel a CLEAN cyle’ for instructions.
IMPORTANT!
●
Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners in a self-cleaning
oven.
●
If there are cracks or flaws in the oven door glass, if the oven gasket is damaged,
stiff, or worn, or if the door does not close properly, do not start a CLEAN cycle.
Call your Authorized Service Center or Customer Care.
●
Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves, broiler pan, and all other bakeware
and utensils from the oven before starting a CLEAN cycle. If left in the oven, they will
become permanently discolored or damaged; items made from combustible materials
(eg wood, fabric, plastic) may even catch fire.
●
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.
●
Before starting a CLEAN cycle, wipe up any spills or grease deposits and remove
any loose food soiling. Failure to do so may discolor the oven surfaces and cause
excessive smoking during the cycle.
●
Before starting a CLEAN cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed
and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during self-cleaning, and may die if left in the same room as the oven during such
a cycle.
●
Make sure the room is well ventilated during the CLEAN cycle. Turn the ventilation
hood above the range on maximum and leave it on for the duration of the cycle.
●
During a CLEAN cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking.
Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children should be
kept away.
