CARE AND CLEANING
Metal Marks and Scratches
1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across the
cooktop. Doing so will leave metal markings on the
cooktop surface. To help remove these marks, use
a ceramic cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for
ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper
are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave
black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be
removed immediately before heating again or the
discoloration may be permanent.
Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark
or scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop
surface.
• Do not use cookware with any dirt build up on
bottom.
CAUTION
SELF CLEAN
The self clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures
to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean
cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is normal;
especially if the oven is heavily soiled.
During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated
to minimize the odors from cleaning.
Before starting Self Clean:
• Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from the
oven.
• The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the
odors from cleaning.
• Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the oven.
• Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place and
the oven light is off.
• The oven light cannot be turned on during a self clean
cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on until the
oven temperature has cooled below 500˚F (260˚C) after
a self clean cycle is complete.
• DO NOT leave small children unattended near the
appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the outside
of the range can become very hot to touch.
• If you have pet birds, move them to another
wellventilated room. The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the Self Clean cycle of any range.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or
any other part of the range with aluminum foil
or any other material. 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 surface of
the oven).
• DO NOT force the door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use care when
opening the oven door after the Self Clean cycle.
Stand to the side of the oven when opening the
door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven
may still be VERY HOT.
CAUTION
During the self clean cycle, the cooktop elements and
warming drawer cannot be used.
• Remove oven racks and accessories before starting
the self clean cycle.
• If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during the
self clean cycle, they will discolor and become
difficult to slide in and out.
• Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot
soapy water. Rinse well.
• Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of
the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion.
It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you
notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
• Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
• Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
