Your new oven features a pyrolytic self-cleaning oven.
When set into the
CLEAN
mode, the oven reaches a
high temperature that burns off the food soil.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional
flame-up during the
CLEAN
cycle, depending on the
content and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If
a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool
before opening the door to wipe up the excessive
food soil.
• The oven light will not turn on when the oven is set
for a clean cycle.

BEFORE YOU SELF-CLEAN
1.
Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front frame
and oven cavity edges (shaded areas below). They
do not get hot enough during the cleaning cycle for
soil to burn away. Use a soapy sponge or plastic
scrubber or an S.O.S.
®
pad.
Do not rub the gasket.
Hand-clean front frame
2.
Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper towels.
3.
Remove all utensils.
4.
Remove oven racks. If the oven racks are left in the
oven during a self-cleaning cycle, they will permanently
lose their shiny finish and change to a dull dark finish.
See the Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care, Page
31.
5.
Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel
and the bulb and glass cover are in place, see Page 30.
6.
Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Cleaning
cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated.
AFTER SELF-CLEAN
• At the end of the CLEAN cycle, some gray ash
remains inside the oven. The amount of ash depends
on how heavily soiled the oven was before it was
cleaned. It is easily removed, when the oven is cold,
using a damp sponge or cloth. If the racks do not
slide easily after being cleaned, lightly rub rack side
rails with vegetable oil.
NOTE:
Due to the high temperatures used for
self-cleaning, the oven may develop fine hairlike lines
or surface roughness. This is a common condition
and does not affect either the cooking or the clean-
ing performance of the oven.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to let the glass in the
oven door cool completely before wiping up
any ash left from the clean cycle.
