Residue from oven cleaners may damage the porcelain during the next clean cycle. . Do not force the oven door open when clean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking system. Use caution when opening the door after cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to one side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

Doing so may damage the gasket. The woven material of the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the door gasket.
