Seif-Cleaning

(some models)

ik CAUTION

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.

ik CAUTION

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.

ik CAUTION

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).

ik CAUTION

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 (well 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

Z

oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken D

not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.

1“

DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. TT
Doing so could cause damage.

;;

Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil from the oven.

These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can

remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. 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 in the 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.

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.

ik CAUTION

I The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been turned OFF. The elements may still be hot
and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have
cooled sufficiently.
