Maintenance
Self-cleaning
This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures)
to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely
powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
CAUTION
• Do not leave small children unattended near the range during the self-cleaning
cycle. The outside surfaces of the range can get extremely hot.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to fumes from a self-cleaning oven. Relocate
birds to a well-ventilated room away from the range.
• Do not line the oven, oven racks, or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Doing
so will result in poor heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. The aluminum foil will melt onto and
adhere to the interior oven surfaces.
• Do not force the oven door open during the self-cleaning cycle. This will damage
the automatic door-locking system. The door automatically locks when the self-
cleaning cycle is started and stays locked until the cycle is cancelled and the oven
temperature is below 400 °F.
• Use caution when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. The gas
oven will still be VERY HOT and hot air and steam might escape when the door is
open.
• Wipe off any excess spillage before using the self-cleaning operation.
• Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaners or oven liners should NEVER
be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will
damage the inside of the oven during a self-cleaning operation.
