wWARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or illness from inhaling
dangerous fumes.
BEFORE YOU START
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle, make
sure you:
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the gasket.
Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting may result.
•
Hand-clean the areas shown. They do not get
hot enough during the Self-Cleaning cycle for soil
to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a
soapy, steel-wool pad for cleaning.
•
Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door
and frame.
•
Remove the broiler pan and grid and anything
else being stored in the oven.
•
Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help
reduce smoke during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
•
Wipe up food spills containing sugar and/or
milk as soon as possible after the oven cools
down. When sugar is heated to a high
temperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the high
temperature can cause the sugar to burn and
react with the porcelain. This can cause staining,
etching, pitting, or faint white spots.
•
Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
them to remain shiny. You can clean racks in the
Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will discolor and
become harder to slide. If you clean racks in the
Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the rack guides.
•
Heat and odors are normal during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated
by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood
or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Move birds to another closed and
well ventilated room.
NOTES:
•
Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-
Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and
smoke.
•
Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and
results in more smoke than usual.
•
Do not block the oven vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for best
cleaning results.
•
Do not leave plastic utensils on the cooktop.
They may melt.
•
Remove any combustible items such as
napkins from the storage drawer. This includes
utensils with plastic handles that can become
overheated and melt.
•
Do not leave any foil in oven during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or melt and
damage the oven surface.
•
The oven light will not work during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
•
The cooktop will not work during the Self-
Cleaning cycle on Canadian models.
