Oven Cleaning
Non Self-Clean Oven(Some Models)
Porcelain has a smooth finish and is a type of glass fused to metal. Oven cleaners can be used on all interior surfaces.
REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR
CLEANINGS LATER.
Adhereto thefollowing cleaningprecautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the oven manually.
General Cleaning
Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
To Remove Heavy Soil
1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean softened spots using hot,
soapy water. Rinse well with water and a clean cloth.
2. If soil remains, use a soap-filled scouring pad or a nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner following manufacturer's
instructions. DO NOT mix ammonia with other cleaners.
3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket, the small area at the front center of the oven bottom
and the oven vent exit (located below the backguard or at the lower end of the upper control panel). Clean with hot, soapy water.
Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.
Adhere to the following precautions when using oven cleaners:
1. DO NOT spray on the electrical controls or switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
2. DO NOT allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensing bulb; it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The
bulb is located in the rear of the oven). Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb. A
change in its position cold affect how the oven bakes. Avoid bending the bulb and capillary tube.
3. DO NOT spray any cleaner on the oven door trim and gasket, handles or any exterior surfaces of the appliance, wood or painted
surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or any other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy
heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven)
Cleaning the Oven Bottom (some models)
The oven bottom in non self-clean oven models can be removed for cleaning. See "To Remove and Replace Oven Bottom" under
GeneralCleaning.
Clean using hot, soapy water, a mild abrasive cleanser, a soap-filled abrasive pad or oven cleaner following manufacturer's instructions.

Oven Cleaning (continued)
Cleaning the self-Clean Oven(some models)
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
Duringtheself-cleaningcycle,theoutsideoftheovencanbecomeveryhottotouch.DONOTleavesmallchildrenunattended
near the appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the electronic oven control is turned off or else push CANCEL pad. Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT clean the oven
door gasket. The gasket on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. DO NOT
useanycleaningmaterialsonthegasket.Doingsocoulddamageit.DONOTusealuminumfoiltolinetheovenbottom.Thismayaffectcooking
or foil could melt and damage the oven surface.
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to
a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with a damp cloth.
PREPARING THE OVEN FOR SELF-CLEANING
1. Remove any excess spillovers 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 or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull pot even after cleaning.
2. Clean any soil from the oven frame ant the door liner. These areas heat sufficiently during a self-clean cycle to burn soil on. Clean with
soap and water.
3. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any foil. These items do not withstand high cleaning temperatures.
4. Oven racks may be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean cycle, their color will turn slightly dull. After the cycle
is completed and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of a baby oil or salad
oil. This will make racks glide easier.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CLEANING
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds or metal expansion
and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and
should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
Setting the Controls for a Clean Cycle
For setting the clean cycle, refer to the timer Section or Electronic Oven Control Guide.
