Care and Cleaning
Your new oven features pyrolytic self cleaning. When set into the
Clean mode, the oven reaches a high temperature that burns off the
food soil.
•
As a safety feature, the oven door locks during Self Clean to
protect you from very high temperatures. Do not try to open the
oven during Self Clean mode.
• Only one oven can be set to self clean at a time. The second
oven cannot be used while one is self cleaning.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during
the Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil
remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and
allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive
food soil.
• The oven light will not turn on when the oven is set for a clean
cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners as they may damage
finish or parts.
Tips for Self Cleaning the Oven
NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for self cleaning,
fine lines or surface roughness may develop in oven cavity.
This is a common condition and does not affect either the
cooking or the cleaning performance of the oven.
Before You Self Clean
1. Hand clean the oven door edge, window, oven front frame and
oven cavity edges (shaded areas below). They do not get hot
enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use a
soapy sponge, plastic scrubber or an S.O.S.
® pad. DO NOT
RUB THE GASKET.
2 . Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper towels.
3.
Remove broiler pan, all utensils and bakeware.
4. Remove oven racks. If the oven racks are left in the oven during
a self cleaning cycle, they will permanently lose their shiny
finish and change to a dull dark finish. See Oven Cleaning for
proper care, Page 51.
NOTE: The Extendable Rack must be removed before a self
clean. The rack may not be usable if it is left in during self
clean.
5. Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel and the bulb
and glass cover are in place, see Page 53.
6. Heat and odors are normal during the Self Clean cycle. Keep
the kitchen well ventilated.
After Self Clean
• At the end of the Clean cycle, gray ash remains inside
the oven. The amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled
the oven was before it was cleaned. It is easily removed,
when the oven is cold, using a damp sponge or cloth. If
the racks do not slide easily after being cleaned, lightly
rub rack side rails with vegetable oil. Wipe off excess.
