Door Gasket (Seal)
warning
take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket.
rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal
required for proper cooking and self cleaning.
clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of
water and mild soap. Do not scrub it or it will become
damaged.
Oven Racks
caution
to prevent damage, do not self clean the oven racks.
to clean the oven racks, apply a solution of detergent
and hot water. when you need to clean heavy soil, use a
scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. you
may also use a solution of one cup of ammonia to 2 gal-
lons of water.
if you accidentally leave the racks in the oven during self
cleaning, you can polish them to make them easier to
slide. polish the rack edges with a soapy steel wool pad.
then apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the edges
so that the racks slide more easily. be aware that polish-
ing will not completely remove the discoloration.
Broil Element
in most cases, any food that splatters on the boil element
coils will burn off with normal broiler use. if desired you
may wipe the element clean, when it is cool, with a soft
damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water.
Meat Probe
warning
to prevent damage, do not immerse the meat probe in
water.
the meat probe is constructed of silicone handles, a wire,
a plug and a stainless steel skewer. to clean the skewer,
use a scouring pad and hot, soapy water. when you clean
the handles, wipe them with a soft sponge soaked with a
solution of detergent and warm water.
Optional Broil Pan
The broil pan has a porcelain enamel finish. When you
clean it, use a solution of detergent and hot water. if your
broil pan is heavily soiled, use a scouring pad with plenty
of water. rinse it well after cleaning.
Cleaning the Interior
Convection Filter
warning
for your safety and proper oven performance, re-install
the filter before using the oven to cook. if you don’t, the
spinning fan blades at the back of the oven will be exposed.
The convection filter is located in the back of the oven
chamber (upper chamber only on double ovens). clean
the filter regularly. If you allow it to become clogged, the
oven’s convection cooking modes will not work properly.
You also need to remove the filter during the self clean
cycle.
to remove the convection filter:
When the oven is cool, put your fingers around the edges
of the filter and gently push up.
to clean the filter:
soak it in hot, soapy water. rinse well. you may also place
it in a dishwasher on the top rack. Dry the filter before
re-installing it.
to install the convection filter:
Carefully hook the metal clips on the back of the filter
over the metal bar across the fan hole. make sure it is
centered over the hole. be careful not to scratch the por-
celain surfaces with the back of the filter.
