Self-Clean Cycle
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-
cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches
elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and
deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps
reduce odors associated with the soil burn-off. A
powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the
oven after completion of the Self-Clean cycle. The
door latch is automatically activated after
selecting the Self-Clean setting. The latch ensures
that the door cannot be opened while the oven
interior is at clean temperatures.
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Remove the oven racks and any other
items/utensils from the oven. The high
heat generated during the cleaning cycle
can discolor, warp, and damage these
items. Do not use foil or liners in the
oven. During the Self-Clean cycle, foil
can burn or melt and damage the oven
surface.
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven
bottom and sides. Never use oven cleaners
inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised
portions of the door.
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned
by hand before the cycle begins. Soils in
these areas will be baked on and very
difficult to clean if not removed first.
Clean the door up to the gasket, the door
frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame
with detergent and hot water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
2. Turn the oven selector knob to self-clean.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to
clean. The clean indicator light will come
on. Within 30 seconds, the automatic door
latch engages and the oven indicator light
comes on. The oven indicator light will
remain on until the oven reaches the self-
clean temperature and will then cycle on
and off during the self-clean cycle.
4. The clean indicator light will remain on
until the self-clean is completed or
interrupted and the oven temperature
drops to a safe temperature. A complete
cycle is approximately 3 1/2 hours with an
additional 30 minutes needed for the oven
to cool down enough for the door latch to
disengage.
NOTE
A fan noise will be heard during the self-clean
cycle and will continue to run for the 3 1/2 hour
duration of the self-clean cycle.
5. When the cycle is completed, turn the
oven selector and temperature control
knob to the off position. When the oven
has completely cooled, open door and
remove any ash from the oven surfaces
with a damp cloth.
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn
the temperature control knob and the oven
function selector knob to OFF. When the oven
temperature drops to a safe temperature, the
automatic door latch will release and the oven
door can be opened. When the oven has
completely cooled, remove any ash from the oven
surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.
