Self-Cleaning
During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near the
appliance.
The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of
the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum
foil will melt to the interior surface of the
oven).
DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after the
self-cleaning cycle is completed. The
oven may still be VERY HOT.

Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soil corn pletely or red uce itto a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth,
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part
of the self-cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or remove the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could
cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil,
These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
Oven racks should be removed. Ifthey are not removed during the clean cycle
their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycle is
complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper
or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the
racks glide easier into the rack position).
Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-
cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO
NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the su rface as they
may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas
heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
