The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the
oven—they cannot withstand the high
cleaning temperatures.
NOTE:
■
If your oven is equipped with oven
shelves, remove them before you begin
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 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.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
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.
NOTE:
Use caution when opening the oven
after the self-clean cycle has ended. The oven
may still be hot.
CAUTION:
The unit should not be operated in any
mode with the bake element removed.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the
SELF CLEAN
pad.
Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other
than 5 hours is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 5 hours.
You can change the clean time to any time
between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending
on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the
START
pad.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the
LOCKED DOOR
light goes off.
When the
LOCKED DOOR
light is off, open
the door.
The oven shuts off automatically when the
clean cycle is complete.
■
The words
LOCK DOOR
will flash and
the oven control will signal if you set
the clean cycle and forget to close the
oven door.
■
To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF
pad. When the
LOCKED DOOR
light goes off indicating the oven has
