Prepare the Oven Before
Setting the Controls
Step 1: Remove the broiler pan,
broiler
rack,
all cookware
and
any
aluminum foil
frotn
the
oven-they can’t withstand the
high cleaning
temperatures.
Step 2:
Clean
spatters
or
soil on
the~)ven
front
f;anle
(A), under the
front edge of
the
cooktop,
the door
liner outside
the
door
gasket
and
the
front
edge of the
oven
cavity
(about 1“ into
the
oven). Use
detergent
and
hot
wuter
with
a
soap-filled
steel
WOOI
pad,
then
rinse well with a vinegar
and
water
mixture. This will help prevent
a
brown residue
froITl
~orming
when
the oven is
heated.
Bulf these areas
with
a
dry cloth.
● Do not let water run
down
through openings in the top of the
door (B). To
help
prevent water
from getting in these slots when
cleaning, open
the
door
as
far
as
it
will
go.
● Clean the door
gaskel
(C) using a
clean
sponge
to soak the soiled
areti
with hydrogen peroxide.
Repeated soaking may be needed
depending on the amount
of
soil.
Freyuent
cleaning will prevent
excessive soil build up. Do not rub
the door gasket-the fiberglass
material
of the gasket
has
an
:xtremely
low
resistance to
abrasion. An
intact
and well-fitting
oven door
gasket
is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation
and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if
it has become displaced on the
door, you should have it replaced.
● Clean top, sides and outside front
of oven door with soap and water.
Do not use abrasives or oven
cleaners.
● Make sure the oven light bulb
cover (D) is in place.
A. Oven Front Frame
B. Openings in Door
C.Oven Door Gasket
D.Oven Light Bulb Cover
Step 3: Close the oven door and
make sure the oven light is off.
● Oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However,
they will darken,
lose
their
luster
and become hard to slide. Wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil
after self-cleaning to make shelves
slide more easily.
● Do not use commercial oven
cleaners or oven protectors in or
near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these
products
pIus
the high clean-cycle
temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.
After a Clean Cycle
When the clean cycle is finished,
the word “CLEAN”
will
go out in
the display and the oven will begin
to cool. When the oven
temperature has fallen below the
locking temperature (about 20-30
minutes after the word “CLEAN”
goes out at the end of the clean
cycle), the word “LOCK” goes out
and the door can be opened.
Step 4: When the LOCK light is
off open the door.
