Self-Cleaning (Upper Oven Only) - Kenmore 790.4061 Serie Manual De Uso

Self-Cleaning (Upper oven only)

During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the wall oven
can become very hot to the touch. DO
NOT leave small children unattended
near the appliance.
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.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part
of the appliance with aluminum foil.
Doing so will destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).
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:

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on
the oven bottom should be removed.
Some models have an exposed Bake element in the lower oven
cavity. On these models the bake element is designed to be tilted up
using your hand from the front of the bake element. This will allow
easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise
the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
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.
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. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
Remove the oven racks during the self-clean cycle or they will
be permanently damaged by the high cleaning temperature. If
the racks are cleaned in the self-clean cycle, their color will turn
slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the self-clean cycle
is completed and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks
with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby
oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack
positions).
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.
