Care & Cleaning
USING THE OVEN 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.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the oven is turned off . Wait until the
oven is cool.
DO NOT use 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.
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. 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 cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
4. Oven racks and oven rack supports must be removed. If they are not removed,
the Self-Cleaning cycle cannot start and the “- Racks” LED will begin to flash
indicating that you must remove the racks and racks glides with the supports
before starting the clean cycle. The convections filter also needs to be
removed. When the cycle has finished and the door can be opened, replace the
oven rack glides with supports, oven racks and convection filter.
NOTE: For model E48DF76ESP, the racks and convection filter need to be
removed from the companion oven. Self-Clean can only be run in the large
oven or the companion oven separately. The Self-Clean cycle can not be run
simultaneously in both ovens.
