Self clean function
With pyrolytic self cleaning the oven is heated to a very
high temperature. Stubborn soil is burnt off and can be
wiped out after self clean is finished.
After the completion of a self-clean cycle, the oven will not
allow you to start another self-clean cycle for 24 hours.
All surface elements are automatically disabled during Self
Clean. This is normal. Once the Self Clean cycle is com-
plete and the oven has cooled, the elements become op-
erable once again.
Surface elements disabled during self clean
WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury, while the Self Clean cycle
is operating, do not operate the cooktop and ensure that
all surface controls are turned off.
All surface elements are automatically disabled during Self
Clean operation only. This is normal. Once the Self Clean
cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, the elements
become operable once again.
Preparing self clean
WARNING
During the elimination of soil during self-cleaning, small
amounts of carbon monoxide can be created and the fiber-
glass insulation could give off very small amounts of
formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
To minimize exposure to these substances, provide
▶
good ventilation with an open window, or use a ventila-
tion fan or hood.
During the self clean cycle, parts of the appliance may be-
come potentially harmful to persons who lack adult knowl-
edge of appliances and adult reactions to potentially harm-
ful conditions.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an
▶
area where appliances are in use.
The oven heats up to a very high temperature during self
cleaning. Opening the door can result in injury.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will
▶
not open.
If the door does not lock, do not run Self Clean. Contact
▶
Customer Service.
CAUTION
Remove broiler pans, pots, and other utensils and excess
spillage before self-cleaning.
Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc., in the oven
during the pyrolytic self-cleaning mode of operation.
