Self-Cleaning (A,upperovens,some owerovens)
During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the wall oven can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near
the appliance.
The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-clean cycle of any
wall oven. Move birds to another well
ventilated room.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of
the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing
so will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface of the oven).
DO NOT force the
oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after the
Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The
oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (we[[ above
cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them
to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
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.
,, DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven
door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket.
,, DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing
so could cause damage.
• Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
• Oven racks do not have to be removed, but remaining in the oven
during the Self-Clean cycle will turn them slightly blue and dull their
finish. This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks. Do not
clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that
the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable
oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean cycle or
when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
• Remove any excessive spillovers inthe oven cavity before starting
the Self-Cleaning 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 milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even
after cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven
door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom.
These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and
water. DO NOT hand clean the oven door gasket.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the
oven bottom should be removed.
Some models have an exposed Bake element in the lower oven cavity.
On these models the bake element is designed to be tilted up using your
hand from the front of the bake element. This will allow easier access to
the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more
than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned OFR The elements may still be hot
and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have
cooled sufficiently.
