COOKING APPLIANCES

We highly recommend to not use the self clean feature on wall ovens
Normal Use
:. Keep units as clean as possible, like trying to
clean crumbs and grease as much as possible
during normal use or in between uses.
:. Microwaves:
Use a microwave-safe cover over the food to help
prevent splatters inside of unit. Try to keep the
inside clean.
:. Ovens:
Thermometers placed inside the oven are not a
good way to measure internal oven temperatures.
They can be highly misleading.

Some clips of the article are:
** "When using recipes you've used for a long time, differences in timing or
cooking performance between an old and a new oven are not unusual. For the first
few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully and use the rack
positions recommended in the Cooking Guide in your manual."
** "If you are following your recipe times and temperatures carefully and still think your
new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet
your specific cooking preference."
**"The amount the oven will cycle higher or lower than the set temperature will vary and
each individual unit can be different."
Routine Maintenance
:. Ranges/Stoves:
Try to periodically pull the range out enough to
clean the sides of the range. It can get a bit
nasty over the years with food spilling.
Be careful cleaning with liquid cleaners around
the knobs as the liquids can get to the switches
below the knobs and cause damage. Also, with
gas cooktops, the spark module or igniter
harness can become wet and make it constantly
"click" or spark the igniters. If this is happened
remove power from the unit and see if it dries up
in a day or two. Sometimes if this is occurring it
will dry up and stop. If it does not stop after
allowing to dry for a few days there might be an
actual issue.
:. Wall ovens:
Many times using self clean will blow a fuse. This
might result in the display not coming on or the
oven not heating, or both.
The entire oven usually must be removed from the
wall to replace these fuses. To help avoid this and
a costly repair, avoid using self clean and clean
oven with a cleaning product, such as the "Easy-
Off Heavy Duty Oven & Grill Cleaner" aerosol
spray, use as directed.
