Self-Cleaning
warnIng
1. Do Not oPERatE tHE ovEN LiGHtS iN tHE
SELF-CLEaN MoDE.
2. Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
the oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle
to eliminate the need for difficult and time-consuming manual
scrubbing of interior surfaces. During this cycle, the oven reaches
temperatures of 850˚F to burn off soil and deposits. A powder ash
residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the
self-clean cycle.
the self-clean time is variable from 2 to 4 hours to offer flexibility
in handling various soil conditions. a 2-hour cycle normally
handles a moderately soiled oven, whereas a 4-hour cycle is
recommended for heavy soil. the self-clean cycle can also be
delayed to start at a later time if desired.
Important:
it is normal for some smoke to be emitted during the first few
•
self-clean cycles.
Popping sounds are normal during self-clean. these sounds
•
are caused by the expansion and contraction of metal
surfaces during heat-up and cool-down.
Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials.
•
these items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
to prepare the oven for self-Cleaning:
Clean soil from the oven front frame area and the oven door
1.
outside of the door gasket. Do not clean the door gasket.
Cleaning the door gasket by hand can cause it to bend or
move. a tight door seal is essential for proper baking and
self-cleaning. Rinse surfaces well with a solution of vinegar
and water, then wipe dry. Heavily soiled areas may be
cleaned with a non-scratching scouring pad.

other loose items from the oven chamber. also, remove all
oven racks and the convection fan filter to prevent them from
permanently discoloring. However, to clean stubborn particles
in the convection filter you may elect to simply leave it in
place during self-clean. the filter will discolor due to the high
heat, but the filtering capabilities will not be affected.
wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp

the self-clean cycle.
turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the

process.
Important:
if racks are left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, it will affect
their ability to slide in and out easily. if damage occurs, polish
the rack edges with a soapy steel wool pad, then apply a small
amount of vegetable oil to the edges so that the racks will slide
more easily.
