More Information on the

SelfoCleaning 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 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 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.
