■
Be sure to wipe off excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove any
broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware,
probe and any aluminum foil.
■
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.
■
The gray porcelain-coated oven shelves may
be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean
cycle.
■
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
■
Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or move
the gasket.
■
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.
■
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind
should be used in or around any part of
the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will
damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
SELF-CLEANING THE UPPER OVEN
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
■
The purpose of the warm setting of the
lower oven drawer is to hold hot cooked
foods at serving temperature. Always start
with hot food; cold food cannot be heated
or cooked using the warm setting of the
lower oven drawer.
■
Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.
■
Do not leave paper products, plastics,
canned food or combustible materials in
the drawer.
■
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your drawer.
■
Do not warm food in the drawer for more
than two hours.
■
Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven
drawer pan in the upper oven.
■
Do not touch the heating element or the interior
surface of the drawer. These
surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the
drawer may be hot when the drawer
is opened.
■
Use care when opening the drawer. Open
the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower
oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat
insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This
will upset the performance of the drawer
and it could damage the interior finish.
