Questions and Answers

Q. Why won’t my oven clean

immediately even though I set

all the time and clean knobs

correctly?

A. Check to be sure your DELAY

START dial is set to the same time

as the range clock. Also check to

be sure latch handle is moved to

the right.

Q. If my oven clock is not working,

can I still self-dean my oven?

A. No. Your Automatic Oven

Timer uses the range clock to

help start and stop the self

cleaning cycle.

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 wipe the oven absolutely clean

afterward, the residue can scar the

oven surface and damage metal

parts the next time the oven is

automatically cleaned.

Gasket around the oven door?

A. No, this gasket is essential for

a good oven seal, and care must be

taken not to rub, damage or move
