Flex Clean

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 aftwerwards with a damp cloth.

The Flex Clean function allows you to set any amout of

cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning

time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light

soils and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.

Read before starting Flex Clean

Be sure to read all the following caution and important

statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:

ik CAUTION

DO NOT leave small children unattended

near the appliance.

During the self-cleaning cycle, the

outside of the range can become very hot to touch and can

cause burns.

* •

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 of the oven.

ik CAUTION

I

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.

ik CAUTION

DO NOT

force the oven door open. This can

damage the automatic door locking system.

Use caution when opening the oven door

after self-cleaning.

The oven may still be VERY HOT

and

can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side

of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or

steam to escape.

Important notes:

• Completely remove

ALL OVEN RACKS

and

ANY

ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid damage

to oven racks.

If the oven racks are not removed they

may discolor.

• Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop including

cookware, utensils and

ANY ALUMINUM FOIL.

Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from

a self-clean cycle and will melt.

• DO NOT

use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings

in or around any part of the oven interior.

• 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 (See Fig. 1). These areas

heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and

water prior to starting Flex Clean (See Fig. 1).

• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven

bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting

a self-clean 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.

• DO NOT

clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). The

woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a

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

to the door gasket.

Example; to set Flex Clean to start immediately:

1. Be sure the oven is empty and

ALL

oven racks are

removed. Remove all items from the cooktop. Be sure

oven door is

completely

closed.

2. Press

Flex Clean

key pad for a default 3-hour clean

time. After pressing Flex Clean you may accept the

default 3-hour clean time by going to step 3.

At this time you may choose a different clean time. The

amount of clean time must be within 2 to 4 hours and

entered using the numeric keys pads. For example enter

2 0 0

for a 2-hour time or enter 4 0 0 for a 4-hour self­

clean time. You may choose a 2 hour 15 minute clean

time by entering 2 15 (hours and minutes).

3. Press START to activate Flex Clean.
