Care & Cleaning 25 using the self-clean feature Adhere to the Following Cleaning Precautions: • Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. • Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.

Do NOT Hand Clean Door Gasket Do Hand Clean Frame Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the oven is turned off. Wait until the oven is cool. ! caution The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room. Do Hand Clean Door Area which out of the Door Gasket DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the 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 use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface. A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with damp cloth. Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning 1. 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 smoke or a 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 the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning. 2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These areas heat sufficiently during a self-clean to burn soil on. Clean with hot soapy water. 3. Remove all utensils and any foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures. 4. Oven racks and oven rack supports must be removed. If they are not removed the selfcleaning cycle cannot start and the " Racks" Indicator Light will begin to flash indicating that you must remove the racks and rack gliders with the supports before starting the clean cycle. When the cycle has finished and the door can be opened, replace the oven the oven rack supports and oven racks.
