Care and Cleaning

WARNING

Clean only the parts of the range listed in this •

manual. Clean them only in the manner specified.

To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your •

range’s surfaces and accessories, use only the types

of cleaning solutions specified in this manual.

To avoid burns, make sure that all parts are cool •

before cleaning.

To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or •

corrosive cleaners or applicators such as steel wool

or scouring pads, on any part of the range unless

instructed to do so. Use only a sponge, soft cloth,

fibrous or plastic brush, or nylon cleaning pad for

cleaning the surfaces of your range.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range. •

Steam could penetrate the electrical components

and cause a short circuit.

Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp •

object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp

objects may scratch your range’s surfaces.

Your Oven’s Self Clean Feature

About the Self Clean Cycle

The oven will run better and produce better baked •

goods when it is clean. During self cleaning, the oven

is heated to very high temperatures which burn off

any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. Self cleaning

eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior

surfaces. The self clean process takes about three

hours.

It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the •

first few self clean cycles. It is also normal for the

oven to emit popping sounds during self cleaning.

These sounds are caused by the expansion and con-

traction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and

cools down.

The self clean process takes about three hours.•

Self clean mode will not function if the meat probe is •

connected.

WARNING

Always wipe up excess grease and other food spills •

with a damp cloth prior to using the self clean

cycle. Doing so will minimize smoke and increase

efficiency. See the proper cleaning instructions on

this page.

Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven •

during the self clean cycle. They will be hot.

Racks, the convection filter, meat probe or any •

other items left in the oven during self cleaning will

become damaged or damage the oven. See page 26

for directions for polishing a rack that is left in the

oven accidently during self cleaning.

How to Use the Self Cleaning Feature

Before self cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the 1.

convection filter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.),

the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from

the oven chamber. See page 27 for instructions on

how to remove and clean the filter.

Clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door 2.

outside of the door gasket. Rinse surfaces well with

a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. Heav-

ily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching

scouring pad.

Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of 3.

water and mild soap.

WARNING

Use caution when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing •

or displacing it may damage the tight door seal

required for proper cooking and self cleaning.

Do not try to force the door open after it is locked. •

Damage to the door or latch may result.

Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors 4.

during the self clean cycle.

Make sure the oven door is shut.5.

Press the 6. SELF CLEAN key, then press START.

The control panel automatically locks the oven door

during self cleaning. The latch prevents the door from

being opened since the high interior oven temperatures

can easily cause injury. If the door is not shut, an error

message will appear on the display. To correct the prob-

lem, press CANCEL

· SECURE and wait approximately one

minute, then close the door. When the door is properly

closed, start the self clean process again.

The display shows the self clean cycle status:

The clean symbol indicates that self clean is in •

process.

The lock symbol indicates that the door is •

latched.

“• ON” indicates that the heating elements are on.

If you want to stop the self clean cycle, press the CANCEL

· SECURE key. The oven door will remain locked until it is

safe enough to open. The lock symbol will disappear from

the display when the door lock is released. You will still

need to exercise caution when the door lock is released

because the inside of the oven may still be hot.

After the self clean cycle is complete:

The door latch will release when the inside has cooled •

down. The clean icon, lock icon and “ON” will disap-

pear from the display. Exercise caution because the

oven will still be hot (about 400°F) at the time the

door lock is released.

Reinstall the convection filter and oven racks before •

using your oven.

You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom •

of the oven after self cleaning. This is normal. Use a

damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the

oven cools down. Continued...
