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 at the bottom of the control panel, vapors, moisture, etc. may be seen coming from this area. 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 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 3 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 lightlythe 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 buildup of soil in the oven. During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL DO NOT USE ALUMINUM OVEN CLEANERS. to help
