Oven Cleaning
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before cleanklg.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the wall oven 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 tile self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL pad.
Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT usecommercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any art of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean
tile oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move
the gasket. DO NOT cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self<leaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above (ooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fin powdered ash you can which away with damp cloth.

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove all excessspillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-clean-
ing cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers (:an
cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT
allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on tile surface as they may
cause a dull spot even after (:leaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration).
These areasheat sufficiently during self-cleaning cycleto bum soil on. Clean
with soap and water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do
not withstand high cleaning temperatures
4. Oven racks may be left in tile oven or may be removed. If they go through
the (:lean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed
and tile 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.
What to Expect During Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heatsto temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal
expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as tile food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the
oven vent, located on tile top of the control panel.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before (:leaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal
and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, usean exhaust fan during tile self-cleaning cycle.
NOT[:: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of tile soil into a colorless vapor.
