WARNING
To Prevent Personal Injury
Before removing the doors, make sure the pins are properly
installed in the hinges. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury to hands and/or fingers.
WARNING
Burn or Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
CAUTION
Do not touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning
cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the
touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used,
there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the
binder in the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the
insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During
subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor
characteristic of high temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-
vented during the self-cleaning cycle.
Brass Parts
Broiler Pan and Grid
Clean with detergent and hot water. For stubborn spots, use a
soap-filled steel wool pad.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be
scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE
OVEN RACKS USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could
sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.
The oven rack supports are designed to remain in the oven during
the Self-Clean cycle.
Meat Probe
The meat probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-
filled scouring pad. Cool the probe before cleaning. Scour
stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.
• Do not immerse the meat probe in water.
• Do not store the probe in the oven.
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the
oven. The high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can
discolor, warp, and damage these items. The oven rack
supports are designed to remain in the oven during the Self-
Clean cycle. Do not use foil or liners in the oven. During the Self-
Clean cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. Never
use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised
portions of the door.
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the
cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very
difficult to clean if not removed first. Clean the door up to the
gasket, the door frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame with
detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Cleaning and Maintenance
CAUTION
All special ordered brass parts are coated with an epoxy coating.
DO NOT USE BRASS CLEANERS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON
ANY BRASS PARTS. All brass body parts should be wiped
regularly with hot soapy water. When hot soapy water will not
do the job, use every day household cleaners that are not
abrasive.
