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.
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-cleaning cycle.
Self-Clean Cycle
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.
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the “SELF CLEAN” mode.
3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean setting until the
knob stops. At this time, 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. When the oven reaches the elevated
temperature needed for self-clean, the door lock indicator light
comes on.
4. The door lock 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 both 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 both 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.
