Using the self-cleaning oven.
(on some models)
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be 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 the broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the
oven .
The oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they
will darken, lose their luster and become hard
to slide .
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners . Clean
the top, sides and outside of the oven door
with soap and water .
Make sure the oven light bulb cover (on some
models) 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 oven .
Move birds to another well ventilated room .
■
On models with press pad controls for both
ovens, you can set a clean cycle in both
ovens at the same time . The last oven set
will automatically delay its start until the end
of the first oven’s clean cycle .
■
On models with press pad controls for both
ovens, you can use timed baking in one oven
and self-clean the other at the same time .
■
On models with a knob, the lower oven does
not have the self-clean feature .
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Self Clean

4-hour clean time or twice for a 3-hour

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 (on some
models) or the
Hour
and
Min +

pads
(on some models) 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 .
Press the

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
