Self clean function

With pyrolytic self cleaning the oven is heated to a very
high temperature. Stubborn soil is burnt off and can be
wiped out after self clean is finished.
After the completion of a self-clean cycle, the oven will not
allow you to start another self-clean cycle for 24 hours.
For a double oven, if one cavity runs self clean, neither
cavity may operate a self clean cycle for 24 hours.
Preparing self clean
WARNING
During the elimination of soil during self-cleaning, small
amounts of carbon monoxide can be created and the fiber-
glass insulation could give off very small amounts of
formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
To minimize exposure to these substances, provide
▶
good ventilation with an open window, or use a ventila-
tion fan or hood.
During the self clean cycle, parts of the appliance may be-
come potentially harmful to persons who lack adult knowl-
edge of appliances and adult reactions to potentially harm-
ful conditions.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an
▶
area where appliances are in use.
Immediately wipe up acid spills
like fruit juice, milk, and toma-
toes with a dry cloth.
When cool, clean with hot soapy
water or apply Bon-Ami® 1
Soft Scrub® 1 to a damp sponge.
Rinse and dry.
For stubborn stains, use soap-
filled pads.
Clean with soapy water and soft
cloth, then rinse and dry with a
soft cloth.
Condition steel with the Ther-
mador Stainless Steel Condi-
tioner (part # 00576697).
Remove water spots with a cloth
dampened with white vinegar.
Remove heat discoloration with
Bar Keeper's Friend® 1 .
Clean with a soft, dry towel.
For stubborn dirt, use warm wa-
ter diluted with a non-abrasive,
mild cleansing soap.
Recommendations
Do not use a moistened sponge/cloth on hot porcelain. It is
normal for porcelain to show fine lines with age due to ex-
posure to heat and food soil.
