CARE AND CLEANING SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN WARNING 2. Remove any foil from oven. Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns. IMPORTANT: ■ The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room. ■ Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke. ■ Remove broiler pan, grid, cookware, and bakeware and, the meat probe from the oven. ■ Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. ■ Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. See "Oven Vent" in the "Know Your Oven" section. ■ Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. To Prepare Oven: 1. Empty out oven and remove racks. Foil may burn or melt, damaging the oven. 3. Hand clean. With a damp cloth, hand clean the inside door edge and 1½" (3.8 cm) of the area around the inside oven cavity frame. Be certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaners, etc., enter the slots on the door frame. 4. Wipe out loose soil. Wiping out soil reduces smoke and avoids damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance. To Prepare Cooktop: 5. Remove plastic items. Remove broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, and the meat probe from the oven. IMPORTANT: Remove racks before the Self-Cleaning cycle to avoid discoloring and difficulty sliding. Plastic items may melt. 30
