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 gasket 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. For ease of cleaning, the
heating element can be lifted slightly
(1 inch).
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.
DURING CLEAN CYCLE
When the LOCK indicator word lights in
the display, the door cannot be opened.
To prevent damage to door, do not force
door open when the LOCK indicator word
is displayed.
Some smoke and odor may be detected
the first few times the oven is cleaned.
This is normal and will lessen in time.
Smoke may also occur if oven is heavily
soiled or if broiler pan was left in oven.
As oven heats, you may hear sounds of
metal parts expanding and contracting.
This is normal and will not damage the
oven.
AFTER SELF-CLEANING
About one hour after the end of the clean
cycle, the LOCK indicator word will turn
off. At this point, the door can be opened.
Some soil may leave a light gray, pow-
dery ash which can be removed with a
damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates
that the clean cycle was not long enough.
The soil will be removed during the next
clean cycle.
If the oven racks were left in the oven and
do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle,
wipe racks and embossed rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to
restore ease of movement.
A white discoloration may appear after
cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were
not wiped up before the clean cycle. This
discoloration is normal and will NOT
affect performance.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain result-
ing from the heating and cooling of the finish.
This is normal and will not affect perform-
ance.
