Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured
with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
DO NOT
CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS
USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could
sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.
Meat Probe
The meat probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled
scouring pad. Cool the probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots
with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry.

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” (5.1 cm) inside the frame with detergent and hot water.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.
WARNING
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are “OFF” and oven is COOL before
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical
shock.
CAUTION
DO NOT
touch the exterior portions of the oven after
self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some parts become
extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may
be some odor and smoking from the “curing” of the binder in the high-
density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly
cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning
cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE
SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
