DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other
part of the range with aluminu m foil.
Doing so will destroy heat
distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent damage
to the oven interior (aluminum foil

Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaningoven cleansitself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soilcompletely or reduceitto a fine powdered
ashyou can wipe away with a damp cloth.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.
Wear rubber gloves when precleaning and while wiping up the residue
after the self-clean cycle.
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 isessential for a good seal. Careshould betaken notto rub, damage
or remove the gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.
These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
3. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through
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).
4. Remove any excess 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 surface as
they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning•
5. 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.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive
smoke or fire:
1. Push CLEAR•
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the'LOCK' light has
gone out, the oven door can he opened.
3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking•
4. Restart the self-dean cycle once all conditions have been corrected•
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.
