During Self Clean
y
The self clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures
to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean
cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor.
This is normal, especially if the oven is heavily soiled.
y
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage the oven.
y
Do not force the oven door open when LOCKED is
displayed. The oven door will remain locked until the
oven temperature has cooled. Forcing the door open
will damage the door.
After the Self Clean Cycle
y
The oven door will remain locked until the oven
temperature has cooled.
y
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it
off with a damp cloth or a soap-filled steel wool pad
after the oven cools. If the oven is not clean after one
clean cycle, repeat the cycle.
y
If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack
supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to
make them glide more easily.
y
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling. This is normal and will
not affect performance.
It may become necessary to cancel or interrupt a
self clean cycle due to excessive smoke or fire in the
oven. To cancel the Self Clean function, turn the
upper or lower Oven Mode knob to the
OFF
position.
note
DO NOT force the oven door open when the lock
icon is displayed. The oven door will remain locked
until the oven temperature has cooled. Forcing the
door open will damage the door.
