Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven clock is not
working, can I still self-clean
my oven?
A. No. Your Electronic Controls
use the range clock to help start and
stop your 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
thoroughly rinse the oven with
water, wiping it 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. Yes,
but carefully, and only
with a clean sponge to soak the
soiled area with hydrogen peroxide.
See page 20.
Q.
What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A.
This is caused by excessive soil.
Press the CANCEL button. Open
windows to rid room of smoke.
Wait until the oven has cooled
(about 20-30 minutes) and the word
“LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe
up the excess soil and reset the
clean cycle.
Q.
Is the “crackling” sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the
sound of the metal
heating and cooling during both the
cooking and cleaning functions.
Q. Should there be any odor
during the cleaning?
A. Yes,
there maybe
a slight odor
during the first few cleanings.
Failure to wipeout excessive soil
might also cause a strong odor
when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like
lines on the enameled surface of
my oven?
A. This is a normal condition,
resulting from heating and cooling
during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why
do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning?
A.
Some types of soil will leave
a deposit which is ash. It can be
removed with a damp sponge or
cloth.
Q.
My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What is the matter?
A. After many cleanings, oven
shelves may become so clean they
do not slide easily. To make shelves
slide more easily, after each
self-
cleaning cycle, dampen fingers with
a small amount of cooking oil and
rub lightly
over sides of shelf
where they contact shelf supports.
Q.
My oven shelves have become
gray after the self-clean cycle. Is
this normal?
A. Yes.
After the self-clean cycle,
the shelves may lose some luster
and discolor to a deep gray color.
