Using The Sef-Ceaning Cyce In This Section Paw How the cyce workm........................................ 19 Before you start................................................ 19 Paw Setting the contros.......................................... 20 Specia tfps........................................................ 22 The Sef-Ceaning cyce saves you from the toi and mess that often come with hand-ceaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, the Sef-Ceaning cyce is operated with the easy-to-use eectronic contros. Pease review the instructions in this section to keep your oven spotess. How the cyce works The Sef-Ceaning cyce uses very high heat to burn away soi and grease. During the cyce, the oven gets much hotter than t does for norma baking or broiineapproximatey 875 F (466 C). This high heat breaks up the soi or grease and burns it away. Your oven is preset for a 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. However, the cyce time can be adjusted to the amount of soi in your oven. The cyce can be set anywhere between 2 and 4 hours. (See Setting the contros on page 20.) The graph at the right is representative of a norma, 3-hour Sef-Ceaning cyce. Note that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but it takes onger for the oven to coo enough to unock START 1 Time I: Hours 3 STOP Before you start Before you start the Sef-Ceaning cyce, make sure you: 1. Hand-cean the indicated areas. They do not get hot enough during the ceaning cyce for soi to burn away. Use hot water and detergent or a soapy stee-woo pad for ceaning. NOTE: DO NOT cean, move or bend the sea. Poor ceaning, baking and roasting may resut.
2. Remove the broier pan grid and any pots and pans being stored in the oven. NOTE: The broier pan and grid can be ceaned in the oven if most of the soi is removed first by handceaning or a dishwasher. f most of the soi is not removed, excessive smoking wi occur. 3. Wipe out any oose soi or grease. This wi hep reduce smoke during the ceaning cyce. 4. Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. f the oven racks are ceaned in the Sef-Ceaning cyce, pace them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.) NOTE: If oven racks are ceaned in the Sef- Ceaning cyce, they wi become harder to side. (See Ceaning chart on page 23.) Heat and odors are norma during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. f needed, remove them by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cyce. Persona Injury and Product Damage Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. t coud burn you. Do not use commercia oven ceaners in your oven. Ceaners may produce hazardous fumes or damage the porceain finish. Do not eave foi in the oven during the Sef- Ceaning cyce. Foi can burn or met and damage the oven surface. NOTE: Do not force the Lock Lever. You coud bend or break it. The ever is designed to stay ocked unti the oven is coo enough to safey open. Wait unti it moves freey.

Specia tips Keep the kitchen we ventiated during the Sef- Ceaning cyce to hep get rid of heat, odors and smoke. After the oven is coo, wipe up any residue or ash with a damp coth. Cean the oven before it gets heaviy soied. Ceaning a very soied oven takes onger and resuts in more smoke than usua. f the Sef-Ceaning cyce does not get the oven as cean as you expected, the cyce may not have been set ong enough or you may not have prepared the oven propery. Set the Sef- Ceaning cyce onger the next time and handcean areas noted on page 19. Do not use the oven ight during the Sef- Ceaning cyce.
