Oven CleaningFEATUREOVERVIEWPreparing for the Self-Clean CycleThe health ofsome birds is extremelysensitive to the fumes givenoff during the self-cleaningcycle of any range. Movebirds to another well-ventilated room.Figure 1Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle:A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soil completely orreduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. These temperaturesare well above normal cooking temperatures.1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:Allow the oven to cool before precteaning.Wear rubber gloves when precteaning and while wiping up the residue after the self-clean cycle.DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of theself-cleaning oven.DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket isessential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove thegasket.DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could causedamage.2. Remove the Broiler Pan and Broiler Pan Insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil.These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures._lrt_'Ylr_'_'_ DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the rangewith aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking resultsand cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interiorsurface of the oven).. Oven racks should be removed, or else their finish will dull and their color turn slightlyblue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, thenremove the racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a smallamount of baby or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier back into theirpositions).4. Remove any excess spitlovers 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 orfire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar oracid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain onthe surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, and thesmall area at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufficiently to burnsoil on. Clean with soap and water.If at any time when setting the oven for the Self-Cleaning feature, the oven controlcontinuously beeps and the display shows "dr"; close the oven door (See Figure 1).22
