Care and Cleaning
Remove the broiler pan, all cookware, utensils
2.
and other loose items from the oven chamber.
Also, remove all oven racks to prevent them
from permanently discoloring. You may leave
the convection filter in place during self-clean
to loosen stubborn particles, but it will discolor.
However, if discolored, its filtering capabilities
will not be harmed. See page 16 for convection
filter removal if you want to prevent discolor-
ation.
Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with
3.
a damp cloth to minimize smoke and increase
the efficiency during self-clean.
Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove
4.
odors during the cycle.

(depending upon the amount of oven soil) by
holding the
TIME • TEMP

key.
To delay the self-clean start to a more conve-
6.
nient time, press the

ing
SELF-CLEAN
, the automatic door latch will
lock the door.
“LOCK”
and
“ON”
will appear in
the clock display. The oven will begin heating.
The
“ON”
indicator will cycle on and off with the
burner.
NOTE:
If delay timed mode has been set, the
“ON”
display and the oven heat will not turn on until the
programmed time has been reached.
IMPORTANT:
If the door is not closed completely,
the automatic door latch will not be able to lock the
door when the self-clean mode is selected. In this
case,
“DOOR”
will flash in the clock display. press
the
CANCEL • SECURE
key to clear self-clean and
wait approximately 1 minute. Repeat the self-clean
steps from the beginning, being certain to close the
door completely. If you need to unlock the door,
turn off the self-clean cycle by pressing the
CANCEL
• SECURE
key. After approximately 1 minute,
“LOCK”

the door will unlock.
About 50 to 60 minutes is required for the oven to
reach the self-clean temperature. The self-clean
cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing
CANCEL • SECURE
.
After completion of the self-clean cycle, the oven
8.
will stop heating and the
“ON”
and
“CLEAN”

key.
When the interior oven temperature falls below
9.
390˚F, the door latch will release and
“LOCK”
will disappear from the clock display. Do not
select any cooking function until the oven door is
unlocked.
Open the door. After ensuring that the oven has
10.
cooled sufficiently to be safe, use a damp cloth
or sponge to wipe out the powder residue found
in the bottom of the oven. If white spots remain
in the oven, remove them with a non-scratch
scouring pad before using the oven again. These
spots are normally salt that cannot be removed
by a self-clean cycle.
Re-install the oven racks and convection filter
11.
before cooking in the oven.
Self-Cleaning Tips
If any soil remains in the oven after completion
•
of a self-clean cycle, repeat the cycle if desired.
Increase the cleaning time during future cycles.
Clean the oven regularly to prevent exces-
•
sive soil build-up. Regular use will increase the
efficiency of the self-clean cycle and reduce the
amount of smoke and odors generated.
Self-clean in the cooler evening hours after
•
cooking is complete and when electricity rates
are lower.
Manual Cleaning
Control Panel
To avoid accidentally turning the oven on while
cleaning the control panel, activate the secure fea-
ture (see
Securing the Controls
on page 11.)
Clean the control panel with a solution of mild
•
detergent and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRA-
SIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH. Dry com-
pletely with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Door Handle and Control Housing
Clean the door handle and control panel housing
•
with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.
Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY
WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH.
