36 Setting Oven Controls Before starting fresh clean Adhere to the following precautions before a self-clean cycle: • Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including food, cookware, utensils, plastic, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures generated during the self-clean cycle. • Remove all oven racks and accessories from the oven interior to avoid possible damage. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor. The Luxury Glide™ oven rack must be removed before starting self-clean to avoid damaging the glide ability of the rack. REMOVE RACKS will flash in the display for several seconds as a reminder to remove the racks before starting a self-clean cycle. (Figure 63) Clean any soil from the oven exterior. Clean using soap and water before starting a self-clean cycle. If soils are not removed, they may burn on due to the high temperature during self-clean. clean areas shown in white do not clean Fig. 63 Remove racks indicator • Be sure the oven vent is clear. • Remove all items from the storage drawer. • Be sure oven light shield is in place. • Remove any excess spills or loose debris. Spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large food spill overs can cause heavy smoke or a fire during self-clean. Spills that have a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) may leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning. • Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 64). Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. 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. • Do not use commercial oven cleaners or protective coatings of any kind inside oven. Residue from oven cleaners may damage the porcelain during the next self-clean cycle. Fig. 64 Areas of oven door and frame: Clean with caution Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle. Keep children away from the oven during the self-clean cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns. The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fums given off during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room. Do Not line the oven walls, oven racks, oven bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will stop heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to a hot oven surface during self-clean.
