Using the self-cleaning oven.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

The oven doors must be closed and all

controls set correctly for the cycle to work

properly.

Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.

A 3-hour self-clean time is

recommended for use when cleaning

small, contained spills. A self-clean

time of 5 hours is recommended

for a dirtier oven.

If a time other than 5 hours or

3 hours is needed, use the number

pads and enter the desired clean time.

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 oven door locks automatically.

The cooktop elements are also locked out

during self-clean. The display will show

the clean time remaining.

It will not be possible to open the oven

doors or use the cooktop until the

temperature drops below the lock

temperature and LOCKED/DOOR

goes off in the control display.
When LOCKED/DOOR goes off, you will

be able to open the doors.

The word LOCKED/DOOR

will flash

and the word door will display if you set

the clean cycle and forget to close the

oven doors.
To stop a clean cycle, touch the

OFF pad. When LOCKED/DOOR

goes off, indicating the ovens have

cooled below the locking temperature,

you will be able to open the doors.
When the oven is set to self-clean,

oven will lock and the cooktop controls

will lock out. The oven and cooktop

cannot be used when it is set to
self-clean.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Before a Clean Cycle

FIRE HAZARD: Wipe grease and heavy soil

from the oven bottom before self-cleaning.

Failure to do so may result in an oven fire.
We recommend venting your kitchen with

an open window or using a ventilation fan

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

all cookware and any aluminum foil from

the oven.
NOTE:

If your oven is equipped with shiny,

silver-colored oven racks, remove them

before you begin the self-clean cycle.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks

(on some models) can be self-cleaned,

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 steel-wool pads

or cleansers such as Soft Scrub . Rinse well

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

Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven
cavity before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Large spillovers can use heavy smoke or fire
when subjected to high temperatures.
DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar
or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit, juices or pie filling) to remain
on the surface as they may leave a dull spot
even after cleaning.

material of the oven door gasket cannot

withstand abrasion. It is essential for the

in place and the oven light is off.
