Questions and Answers
Q. Why won’t my oven clean immediately even
though I set all the time and clean knobs correctly?
A. Check to be sure your DELAY START dial is set
to the same time as the range clock. Also check to
be sure latch handle
is
moved to the right.
Q. If my oven clock is not working, can I still
self-
clean my oven?
A. No. Your Automatic Oven Timer uses the range
clock to help start and stop the self-cleaning cycle.
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part
of my self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any
part of this oven. If you do use them and do not
wipe the oven absolutely clean afterward, the
residue can scar the oven surface and damage
metal parts the next time the oven is automatically
cleaned.
Q. Can I clean the Woven Gasket around the
oven door?
A. No, this gasket is essential for a good oven seal,
and care must be taken not to rub, damage or move
this gasket.
Q. After having just used the oven, I could not
move the latch handle. Why?
A. After several continuous high-temperature bakings
or broilings, the door cannot be latched. If this
happens, let the oven cool by opening the oven
door. After the oven has cooled, you will be able to
latch the oven door for self-cleaning.
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs
during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil, and you should
switch the OVEN SET knob to OFF. Open
windows to rid room of smoke. Allow the oven to
cool for at least one hour before opening the door.
Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
