OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH SELF-CLEAN The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures to clean the oven's interior automatically. It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven. During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning. CAUTION • The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The elements may still be hot and burn may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently. CAUTION • DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. - During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to touch. • Move Birds to another well-ventilated room. - The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle of any range. • DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil or any other material. - Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven). • DO NOT force the door open. - This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT. Before a Self-Clean Cycle We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle. Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, and aluminum foil or any other material from the oven. The bake element is designed to be tilted up using your hand from the front of bake element. This will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position. NOTE: Remove silvercolored oven racks before you begin the selfclean cycle. Don't hand clean oven door gasket Remove any debris from door • The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster, and become hard to slide. It is recommended to remove all racks before starting the self-clean cycle. • Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steelwool pads, or cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water and dry. • Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it. • Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom. • Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off. • Do not leave baking / pizza stone in the oven during the self-clean cycle. 27
