Self-Clean Oven
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a
self-clean cycle.
• To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open
the door when the LOCK icon is displayed.
• Avoid touching door, window or oven vent area during a
clean cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish
or around any part of the oven. They will damage the
finish or parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures to
automatically clean the 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 venti-
lated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Self-Cleaning
1. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven.
The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a
self-clean cycle if they are not removed.
2. Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside of gasket, and
around the opening in the door gasket) with a nonabrasive
cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self-
cleaning process does not clean these areas. They should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle.
(The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window).
3. 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.
4. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers
from the oven bottom. This prevents
excessive smoking, flare-ups or flam-
ing during the clean cycle. To make cleaning easier, the
heating element can be lifted slightly (about 1 inch).
5. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes,
tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid-
resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if
acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up before a self-clean
cycle.
To set Self-Clean:

the self-cleaning time.
5. After four seconds, the oven will start cleaning.

display. If the door is not closed within 30 seconds, the
self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display
will return to the time of day.
