SELF-CLEANING OVEN
The self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to
burn o left over grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely powdered ash
that can be wiped away with a damp cloth.
Failure to follow these precautions could result in damage to the oven, fire, and/or
personal injury.
• Do not leave small children unattended near the range during a self-cleaning
cycle. The outside surfaces of the range can get extremely hot.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to fumes from a self-cleaning oven. Relocate
birds to a well-ventilated room away from the range.
• Do not line the oven, oven racks, or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Doing so
will result in poor heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. The aluminum foil will melt onto and
adhere to the interior oven surfaces.
• Do not force the oven door open during the self cleaning cycle. It will damage
the automatic door-locking system. The door automatically locks when the self-
cleaning cycle is started and stays locked until the cycle is cancelled and the
oven temperature is below 350 °F.
• Be careful opening the oven door after a self-cleaning cycle. The oven will still
be VERY HOT and hot air and steam might escape when the door is opened.
