Cleaning the Range – Interior (Cont.)
Self Clean Mode (on some models)
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior. You will need to lock the oven door when using
this feature. Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe
up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items
from the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks.
Shiny or silver racks and any cookware or other items
should all be removed from the oven before initiating a
self-clean cycle. Close the door. Latch the door.
NOTE:
Never force the latch. If the oven is too hot, you
will not be able to slide the latch. Allow the oven to cool.
Press the
Self Clean
pad and a default self-clean time
is displayed. The clean time can be changed to any
time between 3:00 and 5:00 hours by using the
+
/
-
pads to enter a different time and pressing Start. For
heavily soiled ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is
recommended. If you wish to use the default time, press
the
Start
pad immediately after pressing the
Self Clean
pad. The oven will turn off automatically when the self-
clean cycle is complete. After the oven has cooled down
wipe any ash out of the oven.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the
gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand.
Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool
pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub
®
. Rinse well with
clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of
the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is
essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
To Stop a Self-Clean Cycle
Press the
Cancel/Off
pad. Wait until the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You
will not be able to open the door right away unless the
oven has cooled below the locking temperature.
Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.
Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity
during self clean.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
NOTE:
Using other cooking oils will cause a discoloring
or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides.
To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any
soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor when the bake element is
exposed, gently lift the bake element. On some models,
the bake element is not exposed and is under the oven
floor. Clean the oven floor with warm, soapy water.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
Gently lift the bake element
