Questions and Answers
Q. Why won’t my oven clean
immediately even though I set
all the time and clean knobs
correctly?
A. Check to be sure your DELAY
START dial is set to the same time
as the range clock. Also check to
be sure LATCH HANDLE is in
locked position.
Q.
oven
is not working,
can I still self-clean my oven?
A. No. Your Automatic Oven
Timer uses the range clock to help
start and stop your self-cleaning
cycle.
Q. Can I use commercial oven
cleaners on any part of my
self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should
be used around any part of this
oven. If you do use them and do not
wipe the oven absolutely clean, the
residue can scar the oven surface
and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically
cleaned.
Q. Can clean the Woven Gasket
around the oven door?
A. No, this gasket is essential for
a good oven seal, and care must be
taken not to rub, damage or move
this gasket.
Q. After using the oven (it was
still hot), I turned the OVEN
SET knob to CLEAN but I
not move the latch. Why?
A. After several continuous
temperature bakings or
the DOOR LOCKED light may
come on. The oven door can’t be
latched for self-cleaning while the
DOOR LOCKED light is on. If
this happens, let the oven cool until
the DOOR LOCKED light goes
off. Then the oven door can be
latched for self-cleaning.
Q. What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil,
and you should switch the OVEN

SET knob to OFF. Open windows
to rid room of smoke. Allow the
oven to cool for at least one hour
before opening the door. Wipe up
the excess soil and reset the clean
cycle.
Q. Is the “crackling” sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the metal heating
and cooling during both the
cooking and cleaning functions.

during the cleaning?

during the first few cleanings.
Failure to wipe out excessive soil
might also cause an odor when
cleaning.

lines on the enameled surface
of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition
resulting from heating and cooling
during cleaning. They do not affect
how your oven performs.

in my
oven after cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave a
deposit which is ash. It can be
removed with a damp sponge or
cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What is the matter?
A. After many cleanings, oven
shelves may become so clean they
do not slide easily. If you wish
shelves to slide more easily,
dampen fingers with a small
amount of cooking oil and rub
lightly over sides of shelf where
they contact shelf supports.
Q. My oven shelves have become
gray after the self-clean cycle. Is
this normal?
