58 MAINTENANCE cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from the oven. - If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during the Self Clean cycle, they will discolor and become difficult to slide in and out. • The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning. Open a window or turn on a ventilation fan or hood before self-cleaning. • Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the oven. • Make sure that the oven light lamp cover is in place and the oven light is off. • Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot soapy water. Rinse well. WARNING • If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the oven before using the oven again. The oil could cause a fire. • If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns. CAUTION • Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should not be used in or around any part of the oven. • The oven displays an F error code and sounds three long beeps during the self-cleaning process if it malfunctions in the self-clean mode. Switch off the electrical power to the main fuse or breaker and have the oven serviced by a qualified technician. • If the self cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the range off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician. • It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a Self Clean cycle. Avoid touching the cooktop, door, window or oven vent area during a Self Clean cycle. • Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. • If you have pet birds, move them to another well-ventilated room. The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self Clean 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 Clean 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. NOTE • The oven light cannot be turned on during a Self Clean cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on until the oven temperature has cooled below 500 ˚F (260 ˚C) after a Self Clean cycle is complete. • During the Self Clean cycle, the cooktop elements and warming drawer cannot be used. • Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot soapy water. Rinse well. • 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. • It is normal for the fan to operate during the Self Clean cycle. • As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven. • You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it off with a damp cloth or a soap-filled steel wool pad after the oven cools. If the oven is not clean after one Self Clean cycle, repeat the cycle. • If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a Self Clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them glide more easily. • After a Self Clean cycle, fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not affect performance. • The Self Clean cycle cannot be started if the Control Lock feature is active. • Once the Self Clean cycle is set, the oven door locks automatically. You will not be able to open the oven door until the oven is cooled. The lock releases automatically.
