Cleaning the Appliance
Cleaning the Self-Clean Oven
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL
pad. Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT
clean the oven door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, dam-
age or move the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket. Doing so could damage it. DO NOTuse alumi-
num foil to line the oven bottom. This may affect cooking or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely
or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with a damp cloth.

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning
1. Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning
cycle. To clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause
heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food

spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices

or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame and the door liner (see illustration). These
areas heat sufficiently during a self-clean cycle to burn soil on. Clean with soap
and water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the
clean cycle, their colour will turn slightly dull. After the cycle is completed and
the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth con-

taining a small amount of baby oil or salad oil. This will make the racks glide
easier.
