Oven temperature adjustments do not affect Broil, Self Clean or Keep Warm functions.

The oven temperature settings can be made even if your oven displays temperatures in ° C (Celsius). Maximum and minimum settings in Celsius range from plus (+) 19 ° C to minus (-) 19 ° C.

Self-Cleaning Operation

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. Smoke may appear through the oven vent. If heavy spills are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

Self Clean is programmable for cleaning cycles ranging from 2 to 4 hour

CAUTION

• 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.
• During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot to the touch.
• Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
• Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system.
• Use caution when opening the door after the selfcleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be very hot.
• Stand to the side of the oven door when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

Figure 6: Clean around the oven door gasket

IMPORTANT

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• 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 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.
• Do not use aluminum foil or liners in the oven. These items are not made to withstand the very high temperatures 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 hightemperature cooking oil to lubricate them.
• While in self-clean mode, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odors are normal as the food soil is being removed.

Setting Self Clean

The Self Clean key controls the self-cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

It is recommended to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.

• If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they must be removed and the appliance must be thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow manufacturer's instructions and provide adequate ventilation.

Figure 7: Use cleaners with caution

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning specific parts of the oven.

CAUTION

• Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
• Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before cleaning.
• Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Follow these cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. 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 cause a dull spot even after cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the effort required for major cleaning later.

Boiler Pan Cleaning Tips

To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use oven mitts because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water.

Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.

Figure 8: Broiler pan with insert

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

WARNING Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface burners under any circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the cooktop, the utensil will be damaged or destroyed.
• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat and air flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.

Replacing the Oven Light

CAUTION Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool before replacing the oven light.

The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The glass shield must be in place whenever the oven is in use (Figure 9).

To replace the oven interior light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the appliance.
2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter turn counter-clockwise.
3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt appliance bulb.
   • NOTE: Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing a new bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb.
4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the appliance back in).
6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock

Special door care instructions - The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down.

Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are positioned correctly in the cavity. Do not hit the glass with bakeware or any other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.

To remove the oven door:

1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor.
2. Pull up the lock located on each hinge support toward front of the oven until the lock stops. You may have to apply a little upward pressure on the lock to pull it up (Figure 11 and Figure 12).
3. Grasp the door by the sides, and close the door until the door frame makes contact with the unlocked hinges.
4. Pull the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the appliance to completely disengage the hinge levers (Figure 13).

To Replace Oven Door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. Do not use the oven door handle (Figure 13).
2. Hold the oven door at the same angle as the removal position. Carefully insert the hinge levers into the oven frame until you feel the hinge levers are seated into the hinge notches. The hinge arms must be fully seated into the hinge notches before the oven door can be fully opened. (Figure 13).
3. Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor (Figure 10).
4. Push the door hinge locks up toward and into the oven frame on both left and right oven door hinges to the locked position (Figure 11)
5. Close the oven door.
