Cleaning The Oven (Cont.)
CARE AND CLEANING: Cleaning The Oven / Cleaning The Cooktop
Removal of Surface Burners for Cleaning
Turn all controls OFF. Allow cooktop to cool before
removing grates and burner parts. When removing the
burner caps and heads, remember their size and location.
Replace them in the same location after cleaning.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove oval burner cap
from burner head.
Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive
cleaner or steel wool. Black porcelain-coated oven racks
may remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle
without being damaged. If nickel-plated oven racks
remain in the oven during the self-cleaning cycle, they
will lose their luster and become hard to slide. It will be
necessary to grease all oven rack side edges with a light
coating of vegetable oil after cleaning them by hand or in
the oven. This will help maintain the ease of sliding the
racks in and out of the oven.
Oven Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually
or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool,
then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild
soap and water or 50/50 solution of vinegar and water.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When
cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room
temperature and not in direct sunlight.
Steam Clean Mode (on some models)
The Steam Clean feature is intended to use water to
clean light soil from your oven at a lower temperature
than Self Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature:
1. Start with the oven at room temperature
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven
3. Pour one cup of water onto the bottom of the oven
4. Close and latch the door
5. Press the Steam Clean pad and then press Start.
The oven door will lock. You cannot open the door during
the 30 minute Steam Clean cycle as this will decrease
the cleaning performance. At the end of the Steam
Clean cycle the door will unlock. With a sponge, soak up
remaining water and wipe the moisture-softened soil from
the oven walls and door.
Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the
oven interior. The oven door will lock when using this
feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, pre-wash
inner door and inside window before self-cleaning. Wipe
inner black door before self clean. Remove all items
from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks.
Shiny or silver racks, the meat probe, and any cookware
or other items should all be removed from the oven
before initiating a self-clean cycle. Close the door. Latch
the door. If the oven is too hot, you will not be able to
slide the latch. Wait until the oven is cool to slide the
latch. Press the Clean pad once and a default self-clean
time is displayed. Press the START pad or use the
number pads to enter any clean time between 3 and 5
hours and press start. For heavily soiled ovens 5 hours
is recommended. The oven will turn off automatically
when the self-clean cycle is complete. The door will stay
locked until the oven has cooled down. After the oven
has cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.
IMPORTANT: 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.
