not be able to set a delay-clean cycle to

end at a specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part

of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No

cleaners or coatings should be used around any
part of this oven. If you do use them and do not
thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it
absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A.

This is caused by excessive soil. Press the

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might
also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled

surface of my oven?

A.

This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after

cleaning?

A.

Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash.

It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.

What is the matter?

A.

After many cleanings, the oven shelves will lose

their luster and become hard to slide. To make the
shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports
with cooking oil.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE:

●

Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and

the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back
and pinch fingers.

●

While working in the oven area, cover the hinges

with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel
on the frame.

To replace the door, make

sure the hinges are in the

special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom

of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the
door

slowly

and evenly over both hinges at the same

time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull

them back out.
