More Informationon the Self-CleaningProcess
� 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 is vented in the front, 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 length of cleaning time was not enough, increase the cleaning time for future cleanings. The normal cleaning program is 3 hours. More than 3 hours may be selected if necessary. See page 29, step 1.

� 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 the underside of rack edges and the front edges of the rack supports with a light 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 waiting 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 LOCK LEVER to unlock may result in damage to the door locking mechanism. � DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS IN OR AROUND THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN AREA. � DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL OR OTHER LINERS IN THE OVEN. 3O
