Self-Clean Oven
Self-Clean CAUTIONS:
•
It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during
a clean cycle.
•
Avoid touching cooktop, door, window, or oven vent
area during a clean cycle.
•
To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to
open the door when the LOCK indicator word is
displayed.
•
Do not use commercial oven cleaners
on the self-clean
oven finish or around any part of the oven as they will
damage the finish or parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the entire oven interior.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or flaming to occur during
cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the
oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-
up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with
cleaning.
The cleaning time can be varied depending on the amount of
soil. Press the appropriate number pads to set any amount of
time between two and four hours. “2:00” hours of cleaning for
light soil, up to “4:00” hours of cleaning for heavy soil.
Before Self-Cleaning
Turn off the oven light before cleaning as the light may burn
out during the clean cycle.
Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the
oven.
The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily
after a self-clean cycle.
Clean oven frame, door frame
(area outside the door gasket)
and around the opening in the
door gasket with a nonabrasive
cleaning agent such as Bon
Ami or detergent and water.
These areas are not exposed to
cleaning temperatures and
should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the
clean cycle.

To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket
around the oven door.
The gasket is designed to seal in
heat during the clean cycle.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bot-
tom to prevent excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming
during the clean cycle. For ease of cleaning, the heating
element can be lifted slightly (1 to 1
1
/
2
inches).
Wipe up sugary and acid spillovers such as sweet pota-
toes, tomato or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is
acid resistant, not acid proof.
The porcelain finish may
discolor if acid spills are not wiped up prior to a self-
clean cycle.
