The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Self Clean mode .
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and 

should be wiped up immediately . Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse .

Manual Cleaning

Do not use oven cleaners, strong liquid cleansers, steel 

wool, or scouring pads on the interior of the oven . For 

soils on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces, 

use a gentle abrasive containing oxalic acid, such as 

Bar Keepers Friend

®

, with a non-scratch sponge . Take 

care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to 

the door glass, as it will scratch the reflective coating . 

The oven interior and door glass may be cleaned using 

a soft cloth with a mild soap and water, or vinegar and 

water solution . After cleaning, rinse with clean water and 

dry with a soft cloth .

Self Clean Mode

Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the 

beginning of this manual before using the Self Clean 

Mode . Self Clean uses very high temperatures to clean 

the oven interior. Only self-clean (black) racks and grates 

may remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle . All 

other items, including nickel plated (silver) racks, should 

be removed. If nickel plated (silver) racks are left in the 

oven during a self-clean cycle, the racks will tarnish . If 

either type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean 

cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide . See the 

Oven Racks section for instructions on how to improve .

IMPORTANT:

 The health of some birds is extremely 

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning 

cycle of any range . Move birds to another well-

ventilated room .

To use the Self Clean feature:

1 . Start with the oven at room temperature .
2 .  Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven and 

interior door .

3 .  Remove all items . See Cleaning the Cooktop to 

determine if your grates may be self-cleaned and 

for important details regarding grate placement .

4 .  Close the door . Slide the door latch handle to the 

left as far as it will go .

5 .  Turn Oven Knob to Self Clean .

You cannot open the door during the self-clean cycle . 

The door will remain locked after the self-clean cycle 

until the oven cools below the unlocking temperature . 

At the end of the self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool 

and wipe any ash out of the oven .

Racks

All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water . 

Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity 

during self clean .

Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after 

a self-clean . Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or 

paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges .
