The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your
kitchen with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Remove racks, broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum
foil from the oven.
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.
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.
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.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the
SELF CLEAN LO/STD
pad
once for a 4-hour clean time or
twice for a 3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills. A
self-clean time of 4 hours or longer
is recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 4 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 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
light
goes off.
When the
LOCKED
light goes off, you will
be able to open the door.
■
The word
LOCKED
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
light
goes off indicating the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature, you
will be able to open the door.
