Broiling; Range Care; Self-Cleaning Cycle - Amana AER6603SFS Instructions D'utilisation

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is
opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating
elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers,
including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will
continue to count down.
Close the oven door while broiling. No preheating is necessary.
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of
the oven rack.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower
the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use
racks 4 or 5 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and
Bakeware" section for more information.
WARNING
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.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see the
"Oven Vent" section.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.

■

Broiling

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
■
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. Please refer to the "Accessories" section for more
information.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

RANGE CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle
(on some models)
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks, and
popping sounds.
Before cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the
door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press OFF/CANCEL.
If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked
and "cool" and "locked" will be displayed. The cooling fan may
continue to run.
The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time
(on some models)
The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours
30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 30-minute increments.
Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and
4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil.
To Self-Clean:
1. Press CLEAN.
2. Press the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad to enter
the desired Self-Cleaning cycle time.
3. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock. The Door Locked and
Clean indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining
will also be displayed.

5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth.
