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
DELAYED 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 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
wipe the oven absolutely clean, 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, the LOCKED light came
on and I could not move the
LATCH HANDLE. Why?
A. After several continuous
high-
temperature bakings or
broilings,
the LOCKED light may come on.
The oven door can’t be latched for
self-cleaning while the LOCKED
light is on. If this happens, let the
oven cool until the LOCKED light
goes off. Then the oven door can
be latched 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.
Q. Is the “crackling” sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is 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 wipe out excessive soil
might also cause an 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. They 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. If you wish
shelves to slide more easily,
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.
