Information

on the

Self-Cleaning

Process

� A slight odor may be detected, and if an oven is heavily soiled, some smoke may be visible. Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal occurrence. Since the oven vent is located at the back of the range, vapors, moisture, etc. may be seen coming from this area. If the odor is strong or objectionable, turn on the range hood to exhaust odors outdoors. � During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed if an occasional flame is visible through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that was not removed before the oven was set to clean. � SINCE THE DOOR AND WINDOW OF THE OVEN AND OVEN VENT WILL GET WARM DURING THE SELF-CLEANING PROCESS, AVOID CONTACT. � Some types of soil may disintegrate but leave a light film or heavier deposit of ash. The amount of ash depends on the amount of soil which was in the oven. After oven has cooled, this ash may be removed with a damp sponge. If other dark deposits remain after wiping with a sponge, the time set for the length of cleaning was not enough. Increase the cleaning time for future cleanings or clean more frequently. The normal cleaning time is 2 1/2 hours. A maximum of 4 hours may be selected if necessary.

� If racks have been left in oven during the cleaning process, they should be treated as follows. After the cleaning process is completed and the oven has cooled, buff the underside of rack edges with Scotch-Brite scour-pad or rub lightly the underside of rack edges with a coating of vegetable oil. Use a light application of oil so it does not soil the oven. As a suggestion, use fingertips to apply oil. This will make the cleaned racks slide more easily. � To remove occasional spillovers between cleanings, use a soap-filled scouring pad or mild cleanser; rinse well. � It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than wait until there is a heavy build up of soil in the oven. � During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning. � Any attempt to force the self-clean DOOR LOCKLEVER to lock or unlock without electricpower applied tothe door or with the TEMPERATURE knob in any position other than CLEAN may result in damage to the door locking mechanism. � DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS IN OR AROUND THE SELFCLEANING OVEN AREA. � DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL OR OTHER LINERS IN THE OVEN.
