USING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven

Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours and 20 minutes

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the first seif-clean cycle.

1. Remove the shelves, broiler pan, broiler grid, all

cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they
cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use

soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to
prevent staining.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the

top, sides and outside front of the oven door with soap

and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance
to abrasion. An intact, well-fitting oven door gasket is
essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good
baking results, if you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or If it has become
displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light

is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the
bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately.

CAUTION: The grates and drip pans should never

be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated
room.

Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door outside
the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle.
On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a

soap-filled pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water
solution. This wiii help prevent a brown residue from

forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas

with a dry cloth. Do not dean the gasket.
