Care and maintenance 9 WARNING • Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. • During the self-clean cycle, exterior surfaces may become hotter than usual. Parts of the appliance may become potentially harmful to children, and to persons who lack adult knowledge of appliances and lack adult reactions to potentially harmful conditions. Keep these individuals away during self-clean and while the appliance is in use. • The elimination of soil during self-cleaning may facilitate the emission of small amounts of chemicals or other substances that may be harmful upon sufficient exposure. To minimize exposure to these substances, provide good ventilation with an open window, or use a ventilation fan or hood. • For the self-cleaning cycle of your range, remove small animals and birds from the kitchen and surrounding areas. Open a nearby window for additional ventilation. During self-clean, fumes are released that may be harmful. Brand names • The use of brand names is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner.

When set to the self-clean mode, the oven reaches a high temperature, approximately 850°F (454°C), that burns off the food soil. • When the oven is set for self clean, the standard rangetop burners and the electric griddle and grill may be used. The burners having the ExtraLow® feature cannot be used. • It is common to see smoke and/or flames during the clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil. • At the end of the clean cycle, some gray ash or burned residue may remain inside the oven. This is a mineral deposit that does not burn or melt. The amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled the oven was before it was cleaned. When the oven is cold, it is easily removed using a damp paper towel, sponge, or cloth. Before self-cleaning the oven DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS - No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. To reduce flare ups and excess smoke wipe out puddles of grease and any loose soil that can be easily removed. Remove any soil that is outside the door seal area. This appliance is designed to clean the oven interior and the portion of the door that is inside the oven. The outer edges of the door and the frame surrounding the front of the oven are not in the cleaning zone. Wipe this area clean. BEFORE SETTING THE OVEN TO SELF-CLEAN • Remove all utensils. • Remove racks and rack guides. • Clean the oven front frame and outer door edges. • Wipe up large spillovers and grease. • Be sure the light bulbs and glass covers are in place. • Turn on the ventilator hood above the range and leave it on until the oven has completed the self-clean cycle.
