Care & Cleaning
Self–Clean Oven
CAUTION:
➢ It is normal for parts of the range to
become hot during a clean cycle
➢ Avoid touching cooktop, door, win-
dow, or oven vent area during a
clean cycle.
➢ To prevent damage to oven door,
do not attempt to open the door
when the LOCK indicator word is
displayed.
➢ Do not use commercial oven
cleaners on the self-clean oven fin-
ish or around any part of the oven
as they will damage the finish or
parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above normal
cooking temperatures to automatically
clean the entire oven interior.
It is normal for excessive flare-ups, smoking
and flaming to occur during cleaning if the
oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean
the oven regularly rather than to wait until
there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen
should be well ventilated to help eliminate
normal odors associated with cleaning.
The cleaning time can be varied depending
on the amount of soil. Press the appropri-
ate number pads to set any amount of time
between two and four hours. "2:00" hours of
cleaning for light soil, up to "4:00" hours of
cleaning for heavy soil.
BEFORE SELF-CLEANING
Turn off the oven light before cleaning as the
light may burn out during the clean cycle.
Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven
racks from the oven. The oven racks will
discolor and may not slide easily after a
self-clean cycle.
Clean oven frame,
door frame (area
outside the door
gasket) and around
the opening in the
door gasket with a
nonabrasive cleaning agent such as Bon
13
Ami* or detergent and water. These areas
are not exposed to cleaning temperatures
and should be cleaned to prevent soil from
baking on during the clean cycle.
To prevent damage, do not clean or rub
the gasket around the oven door. The gas-
ket is designed to seal in heat during the
clean cycle.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the
oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking,
flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle.
Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as
sweet potatoes, tomato or milk-based
sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant,
not acid proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up
prior to a self-clean cycle.
