CARE AND CLEANING
29
ENGLISH
Metal Marks and Scratches
1. Do not slide pots and pans across the cooktop. Doing
so will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface.
To help remove these marks, use a ceramic cooktop
cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops.
2. If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are
allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave a black
discoloration on the cooktop. This should be removed
immediately before heating again or the discoloration
may become permanent.
Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or
scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop
surface.
• Do not use cookware with any dirt buildup on bottom.
CAUTION
SELF CLEAN
The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures
to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean
cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is normal;
especially if the oven is heavily soiled.
During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to
minimize the odors from cleaning.
Before Starting Self Clean
• Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from the
oven.
• The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the
odors from cleaning.
• Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the oven.
• Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place and
the oven light is off.
• The oven light cannot be turned on during a self clean
cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on until the oven
temperature has cooled below 500 ˚F (260 ˚C) after a
Self Clean cycle is complete.
• DO NOT leave small children unattended near the
appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the outside of
the range can become very hot to touch.
• If you have pet birds, move them to another
well ventilated room. The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the
Self Clean cycle of any range.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the range with aluminum foil or any
other material. 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).
• DO NOT force the door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use care when
opening the oven door after the Self Clean cycle.
Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door
to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may
still be VERY HOT.
CAUTION
During the Self Clean cycle, the cooktop elements and
warming drawer cannot be used.
• Remove oven racks and accessories before starting
the Self Clean cycle.
• If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during the
Self Clean cycle, they will discolor and become
difficult to slide in and out.
• Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot soapy
water. Rinse well.
• Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of
the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is
essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice
it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
• Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
• Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
