More Information on the
Self-Cleaning Process
A slight odor may be detected, and if an oven is heavily soiled, some smoke
may be visible. Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal
occurrence. Since the oven is vented on top of the control panel, vapors,
moisture, etc. may be seen coming from this area.
During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed if an occasional flame is visible
through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that was not
removed before the oven was set to clean.
SINCE THE DOOR AND WINDOW OF THE OVEN WiLL GET WARM DURING
THE SELF-CLEANINGPROCESS, AVOID CONTACT.
Some types of soil may disintegrate but leave a light film or heavier deposit
of ash. The amount of ash depends on the amount of soil which was in the
oven. After oven has cooled, this ash may be removed with a damp sponge.
If other dark deposits remain after wiping with a sponge, the time set for the
length of cleaning was not enough. Increase the cleaning time for future
cleanings or clean more frequently. The normal cleaning time is 21/2hours.
A maximum of 4 hours may be selected if necessary.
If racks have been left in oven during the cleaning process, they should be
treated as follows. After the cleaning process is completed and the oven has
cooled, buff the underside of rack edges with Scotch-Brite scour-pad or rub
lightly the underside of rack edges with a coating of vegetable oil. Use a light
application of oil so it does not soil the oven. As a suggestion, use fingertips
to apply oil. This will make the cleaned racks slide more easily.
To remove occasional spillovers between cleanings, use a soap-filled scouring
pad or mild cleanser; rinse well.
It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than wait until there is a heavy
build-up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help
eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.
Any attempt to force the self-clean DOOR LOCK LEVER to lock or unlock
without electric power applied to the door or with the TEMPERA TURE knob
in any position other than CLEAN may result in damage to the door locking
mechanism.
DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS IN OR AROUND THE SELF-
CLEANING OVEN AREA.
DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL OR OTHER LINERS IN THE OVEN.
