Care & Cleaning
USING THE SELF-CLEAN FEATURE
Adhere to the Following Cleaning
Precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the
oven manually.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave a small children
unattended near the appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the oven is turned
off or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until the oven is cool.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the
self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. DO NOT use any
cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures)
which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with
damp cloth.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To
clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause smoke or a fire when
subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may
leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These areas heat
sufficiently during a self-clean to burn soil on. Clean with hot soapy water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items can not withstand
high cleaning temperatures.
4. Oven racks and oven rack supports must be removed. If they are not removed the self-cleaning
cycle can not start and RR will appears in the display indicating that you must remove the
racks and racks supports. When the cycle has finished and the door can be opened replace
the oven the oven rack supports and oven racks.
