Self Clean
A self cleaning
oven cleans with very high temperatures
well
above
normal
cooking
temperatures.
The high temperature
elim-
inates soils completely
or reduces them to a fine powdered
ash
you can wipe
away
afterwards
with a damp
cloth.
The Self Clean function
allows
you to set a cleaning
time from 2
hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour cleaning
time is recommended
for
normal
cleaning,
2 hours for light cleaning,
and 4 hours for
heavy cleaning.
Read Before
Starting
Self Clean:
Do not leave small children
unattended
near
the appliance.
During
the self cleaning
cycle,
the outside
of the
oven can become
very hot to touch and can cause burns.
Do not line the oven walls,
racks, bottom
or any
other part of the oven 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.
The health
of some birds is extremely
sensitive
to the fumes given off during
the self cleaning
cycle of any
oven. Move
birds to another
well-ventilated
room.
Do not force
the 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.
Figure 28:
Oven door area to clean and not clean (gasket).
Important
note:
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 including
bakeware,
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
(Figure
28). These areas heat sufficiently
to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water
prior to starting
Self Clean.
Do not clean the oven door gasket
(Figure 28). 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.
•
Remove any excessive
build up caused
by spills. Any spill 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 spill residue
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.
•
This model
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.
