Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food
in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on
grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
IMPORTANT:
Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower
the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat,
fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Refer
to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more
information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
■
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See the “Accessories” section.
NOTE:
Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
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.
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, and aluminum foil and, on some
models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■
Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the

/

" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame,
being certain not to move or bend the gasket.
■
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 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 any time, press OFF/CANCEL.
If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked
and “cool” and “ ” will be displayed. The cooling fan may
continue to run.
The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic
control requires a 12-hour delay before another Self-Cleaning
cycle can be started.
Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time
(on some models)
The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours
30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 30-minute increments.
Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil, and
4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil.
To Self-Clean:
1.
Press CLEAN.
2.
Press the Temp/Time “up” or “down” arrow keypad to enter
the desired Self-Cleaning cycle time.
3.
Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock. The Door Locked and
Clean indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining
will also be displayed.
4.
When the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools,
the Door Locked and Clean indicator lights will turn off.
5.
When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth.
To exit the Self-Cleaning cycle before completed, press
OFF/CANCEL. The door will unlock once the oven cools.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during
Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
