Part Suitable cleaning method Recommendations
Flat rack ¡ Wash with soapy water.
¡ Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub
with cleansing powder or soap-filled
pads as directed.
¡ DO NOT CLEAN USING THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION.
¡ If the flat racks remain in the oven during the self clean mode, they will
loose their shiny finish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens,
wipe the rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil. Then wipe
off excess oil.
Telescopic rack ¡ Wash with soapy water.
¡ Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub
with cleansing powder or soap-filled
pads as directed.
¡ DO NOT CLEAN USING THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION.
¡ Avoid getting cleansing powder in the telescopic slides. Re-lubrication
may become necessary. Use only high-temperature food-grade lubri-
cants to re-lubricate the slides.
Door gasket None ¡ DO NOT CLEAN THE DOOR GASKET.
¡ The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

soil.

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. For a double oven, if one cavity runs self
clean, neither cavity may operate a self clean cycle for
24hours.
Preparing self clean
WARNING
Risk of injury!
¡ During the elimination of soil during self-cleaning,
small amounts of carbon monoxide can be created
and the fiberglass 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
ventilation fan or hood.
