RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle
(on some models)
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds
to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see
“Oven Vent” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Range:
■
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all
cooking utensils, oven racks, aluminum foil, and, on some
models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■
Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 1

(3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being
certain not to move or bend the gasket.
■
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not
affect cooking performance.
■
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they
may melt.
■
Remove all items from the storage drawer.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT:
The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press the CANCEL
keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain
locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed.
The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.
