efore a Clean Cycle
Quick Reminder:
1. Prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Press the CLEAN pad.
4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set
the clean time.
The range must be completely cool in order to set
the self-clean cycle.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware
and any aluminum
from the oven—they cannot
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be left in the oven,
however, they will discolor and become hard to
slide after the self-clean cycle.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use
soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning
to prevent staining.
A. Oven Front Frame
B. Openings in Door
C. Oven Door Gasket
D. Oven Light
3. Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame (A),
under the front edge of the oven vent, the door liner
outside the door gasket and the front edge of the
oven cavity (about 1 inch into the oven).
Use detergent and hot water with a soap-filled steel
wool pad, then rinse well with a vinegar and water
mixture. This will help prevent a brown residue
from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these
areas with a dry cloth.
●
Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven
door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or
oven cleaners.
●
Do not let water run down through the openings
(B) in the top of the door. To help prevent water
from getting in these slots when cleaning, open
the door as far as it will go.
●
Do not rub or clean the door gasket
the fiberglass material of the gasket has an
extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and
well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for
efficient oven operation and good baking results.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or
damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on
the door, you should have it replaced.
4. Close the door and make sure the oven light (D) is
off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the
bulb will be shortened or it may cause the bulb to
burn out immediately. The door will latch
automatically when the CLEAN pad is pushed.
The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning
oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with
cooking oil after self-cleaning to make shelves slide
more easily.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the
high clean cycle temperatures may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.
Important
The oven door must be closed and
controls must
be set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
1. Follow steps above to prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Press the CLEAN pad.
4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the
desired Clean Time is displayed.
Clean Time is normally 3 hours. You can change the
Time to anywhere between 2 and 4 hours,
depending on how dirty the oven is.
The self-clean cycle will automatically begin after
“CLEAN” is displayed. The words “ON” and “LOCK”
appear in the display. It will not be possible to
open the oven door until the temperature drops below
the lock temperature and the LOCK light goes off.
5. When the LOCK light is off open the door.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on to cool
internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
