A self-cleaning oven automatically cleans with high
temperatures that are well above those used for
normal cooking. The self-clean feature eliminates
soilscompletelyorreducesthemtoane
powdered ash that you can later easily wipe away
with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when
running the self-clean cycle:
• Do not use oven cleaners or protective coatings
in or around the oven interior.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven
material of the oven door gasket is essential for
a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket. -Fig. 1-
• Do not use any cleaning materials on the door
gasket. Leaving chemical residue can damage
the door gasket.
• DO NOT force the oven door open. The
automatic door locking system can be damaged.
• Remove the broiler pan, insert, all utensils
and any aluminum foil. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
• AllovenracksandsupportsMUST be removed.
If they are left in while attempting to set a self-
clean cycle, the display will show REMOVE
RACKS -Fig. 2. The oven control will not start
aself-cleancyclewithoutrstremovingallthe
oven racks and supports.
• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven
cavity before starting a self-clean cycle. To
clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spilloverscancauseheavysmokeorrewhen
subjectedtohightemperatures.
• Cleananysoilfromtheovenframe,thedoor
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small
area at the front center of the oven bottom with
soapandwater.Theseareasheatsufcientlyto
burn soil on.
• Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juicesorpielling)toremainontheporcelain
surface, they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
