Wail Oven Seif-Cleaning Cycle
ik CAUTION
I During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the oven can be­
come 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-clean cycle of any wall oven.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
A CAUTION
DO NOT line the oven walls,
racks, bottom or any other part of the appli­
ance with aluminum foil. Doing so will de­
stroy heat distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent damage to the
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 open­
ing 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 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.
• 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.
A
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.
