Before a Clean Cycle

If your range has this control pad, it has a self-cleaning oven.

Follow these instructions.

If not, refer to the Porcelain Oven Cleaning section for oven cleaning instructions.

We recommend venting your kitchen with

an open window or using a ventilation fan

or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all

cookware and any aluminum foil from the

oven.

NOTE:

■

If your oven is equipped with shiny,

silver-colored oven racks, we

recommend to remove them before you

begin the self-clean cycle. They may

remain in the oven during the self-clean

cycle, but they will darken, lose their

luster and become hard to slide.

■

If your oven is equipped with gray

porcelain-coated oven racks, they may

be left in the oven during the self-clean

cycle.

Soil on the front frame of the range and

outside the gasket on the door will need to

be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with

hot water, soap-filled or plastic scouring pads

or cleansers such as Soft Scrub

®

. Rinse well

with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass

material of the oven door gasket cannot

withstand abrasion. It is essential for the

gasket to remain intact. If you notice it

becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in

place and the oven light is off.

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.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven

bottom.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Follow the directions in the 

before a Clean

Cycle

section.

Latch the door.

NOTE: 

Never force the latch. If the oven is

too hot, you will not be able to slide the

latch. Allow the oven to cool.

Touch the 

Self Clean

pad.

Touch the 

+

or 

–

pads until the

desired Clean Time is displayed.

The Clean Time is normally 4 hours and 20

minutes. You can change the Clean Time

to any time between 3 and 5 hours,

depending on the amount of soil in your

oven.

Touch the 

Start/On

pad.

The self-clean cycle will automatically

begin after 

Clean

is displayed and the time

countdown appears in the display.
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can

touch the 

Clock

pad to display the time of

day. To return to the clean countdown,

touch the 

Self Clean

pad.

The oven shuts off automatically when the

clean cycle is complete, and 0:00 will flash

in the display.

Slide the latch handle to the left as far

as it will go and open the door.

NOTE: 

Never force the latch handle. 

Forcing the handle will damage the door

lock mechanism.

Using the self-cleaning oven. 

(on some models)

FIRE HAzARD:

Wipe grease and heavy soil from oven before self-cleaning. Failure

to do so may result in an oven fire.

CAUTION

Never place cooking utensils, baking stones, foil, or any other items on the oven

floor. Even items rated for high temperature may permanently adhere to oven

bottom or cause heat damage to the oven, flooring or items in storage drawer.

CAUTION
