Care and Cleaning Instructions Cleaning Porcelain Surfaces The oven interior and inner door liners are finished in porcelain enamel. Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or commercial oven cleaners. Always remove excess grease and soil from the oven interior and door prior to using the Self-Cleaning cycle. Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse, dry and polish with a soft, lint-free cloth. Reinstalling the Filter 1. Orient the filter so that the two mounting tabs are towards the rear, open end down. 2. Hook the mounting tabs over the center horizontal bar. Cleaning the Oven Racks The oven racks are chrome-plated. For everyday cleaning, apply a solution of detergent and hot water. To clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water, or use a solution of 1 cup ammonia to 2 gallons of water. Remove the racks during Self-Cleaning. If the racks are left in the oven during self-cleaning, they will permanently discolor. Cleaning the Convection Fan Filter warning • Remove the filter only when it is cool. • Re-install the filter before cooking in the oven again. Failure to do so will expose the convection fan blade that rotates at high speed during convection modes. The convection fan filter is made of stainless steel. Remove the filter regularly for cleaning, because a clogged filter will reduce the effectiveness of convection cooking modes. Soak the filter in hot soapy water according to the package directions. Dry the filter completely before re-installing. Remove the filter during self-cleaning. If the filter is left in the oven during self-cleaning it will permanently discolor. Removing Convection Fan Filter Installing the Convection Fan Filter Cleaning the Broiler Pan The oven broiler pan is finished in porcelain enamel. Clean both components in a solution of detergent and hot water. For heavy soil conditions, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. Rinse well after cleaning. Self-Cleaning warning • Do not operate the oven lights in the Self-Clean mode. • Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the self-clean cycle. • Do not use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven. Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can permanently damage the porcelain finishes. • The electric door latch is a convenient safety feature. The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the self-clean mode. The latch ensures that the oven door cannot be opened while the interior oven temperatures are unsafe to the user. • The oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle to eliminate the need for difficult and time-consuming manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. During this cycle, the oven reaches extreme high temperatures to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the walls and bottom of the oven, and in the door interior wall, after completion of the self-clean cycle. • The self-clean time is variable from 2 to 4 hours to offer flexibility in handling various soil conditions. A 2-hour cycle normally handles a moderately soiled oven, whereas a 4-hour cycle is recommended for a heavily soiled condition. The self-clean cycle can also be delayed to start at a later time if desired. 12
