Self-Cleaning
iàCAUTION During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of
the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave
small children unattended near the appliance.
A caution 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.
A caution DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom
or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy 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).
A 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:
•
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings
in oraroundany part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
• DO NOT clean the oven doorgasket. The woven
material of the oven doorgasket is essential fora 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 the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and
any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand
high cleaning temperatures.
