Heavily Soiled Oven Cavity
SELF CLEAN (Upper & Lower Oven)
The SELF CLEAN cycle uses above normal cooking tempera-
tures to clean the oven cavity. You may see some smoke and
smell an odor the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is
normal and will lessen in time. Smoke may also occur if the
oven is heavily soiled. During self clean, the kitchen should
be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning. The
upper and lower oven SELF CLEAN cannot be operated simul-
taneously.
CAUTION
y DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appli-
ance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the
range can become very hot to the touch.
y If you have a pet bird, move it to another well-ventilated
room. Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self cleaning cycle of any range.
y DO NOT wrap the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the range with aluminum foil or any other
material. Doing so will destroy the heat distribution, pro-
duce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage
to the interior of the oven (aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).
y DO NOT force the door open. This can cause damage
to the automatic door locking system. Use care when
opening the oven door after the Self Cleaning cycle.
Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to
allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be
very hot.
y Never touch the broil element. It can cause burns if it is
not cooled completely. The broiler is self cleaning and
touching it can damage the broiler.
