C Oven Care and Use Manual Care and Cleaning
Page 28
Your new oven features two pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens.
When set into the CLEAN mode, the oven reaches a
high temperature that burns off the food soil.
• As a safety feature, the oven door locks during SELF
CLEAN to protect you from very high tempera-
tures. Do not try to open the door during SELF
CLEAN.
• Only one oven can be set to Self Clean at a time.
The second oven cannot be used while one is self-
cleaning.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional
flame-up during the CLEAN cycle, depending on the
content and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If
a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to
cool before opening the door to wipe up the
excessive food soil.
• The oven light will not turn on when the oven is set
for a clean cycle.
Self-Cleaning The Oven
BEFORE YOU SELF-CLEAN
1. Hand-clean the oven door edge, window, oven front
frame and oven cavity edges (shaded areas below).
They do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle
for soil to burn away. Use a soapy sponge, plastic
scrubber or an S.O.S.
® pad. DO NOT RUB THE
GASKET.
NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for
self-cleaning, the oven may develop fine lines or
surface roughness. This is a common condition
and does not affect either the cooking or the
cleaning performance of the oven.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to let the inside win-
dow glass in the oven door cool completely
before wiping up any ash left from the clean
cycle.
2 . Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper
towels.
3. Remove all utensils.
4. Remove oven racks. If the oven racks are left in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, they will
permanently lose their shiny finish and change
to a dull dark finish. See the Oven Cleaning
Chart for proper care, Page 30-31.
5. Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel and
the bulb and glass cover are in place, see Page 33.
6. Heat and odors are normal during the Self Clean cycle.
Keep the kitchen well ventilated.
AFTER SELF-CLEAN
• When Self Clean has completed and the oven heat has
dropped to a safe temperature, the automatic door
lock will release and the oven door can be opened.
• At the end of the CLEAN cycle, gray␣ ash remains inside
the oven. The␣ amount of ash depends on how
heavily␣ soiled the oven was before it was cleaned. It is
easily removed, when the oven is cold, using a damp
sponge or cloth. If the racks do not slide easily after
being cleaned, lightly rub rack side rails with vegetable
oil.
