Self-Clean
• DO NOT line the oven walls, oven racks,
bottom or any other part of the range with
aluminum foil. Doing so will stop 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).
• Use caution when opening the door after the
self-clean cycle is finished. The oven may
still be
VERY HOT.
• 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 self-cleaning oven automatically cleans with high
temperatures that are well above those used for
normal cooking. The self-clean feature eliminates
soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash that you can later easily wipe away
with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when
running the self-clean cycle:
•
Do not use oven cleaners or protective coatings
in or around the oven interior.
•
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 -Fig. 1.
•
Do not use any cleaning materials on the door
gasket.
Leaving chemical residue can damage
the door gasket.
•
DO NOT force the oven door open. The
automatic door locking system can be
damaged.
•
Remove the broiler pan, insert, all utensils and
any
aluminum foil. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
• All oven racks
MUST be removed. If they are
left in while attempting to set a self-clean cycle,
the display will show
REMOVE RACKS -Fig. 2.
The oven control will not start a self-clean cycle
without first removing all the oven racks.
•
Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven
cavity
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.
• 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 with
soap and water. These areas heat sufficiently to
burn soil on.
•
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 porcelain surface, they may leave a dull spot
even after cleaning.
