Before starting fresh clean
Adhere to the following precautions before a self-clean cycle:
•
Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including
food, cookware, utensils, plastic, and any aluminum foil.
Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures gener-
ated during the self-clean cycle.
•
Remove all oven racks and accessories from the oven inte-
rior to avoid possible damage. If the oven racks are not
removed they may discolor. The Luxury Glide™ oven rack
must be removed before starting self-clean to avoid damag-
ing the glide ability of the rack. REMOVE RACKS will flash
in the display for several seconds as a reminder to remove
the racks before starting a self-clean cycle. (
Figure 63
)
•
Be sure the oven vent is clear.
•
Remove all items from the storage drawer.
•
Be sure oven light shield is in place.
•
Remove any excess spills or loose debris. Spills on the
oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before
starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a
cloth. Large food spill overs can cause heavy smoke or a
fire during self-clean. Spills that have a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or
pie filling) may leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.
•
Do not clean the oven door gasket (
Figure 64
). Do not
use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing
so may damage the gasket. The woven material of the
oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or remove the door gasket.
•
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or protective coat-
ings of any kind inside oven. Residue from oven cleaners
may damage the porcelain during the next self-clean cycle.
Clean any soil from the oven exterior. Clean using soap and
water before starting a self-clean cycle. If soils are not removed,
they may burn on due to the high temperature during self-clean.
Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Keep children away from the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fums given
off during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to anoth-
er well-ventilated room.
Do Not line the oven walls, oven racks, oven bottom or any other
part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will stop heat dis-
tribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent
damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to a hot oven
surface during self-clean.
