Before a Clean Cycle
The range must be completely cool in order to set
the self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven
to cool before you can slide the door latch.
We recommend venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-
clean cycle.
1. Remove all cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning
temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose
their luster and become hard to slide.
2. To avoid heavy smoke in the kitchen during self-
cleaning, wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
(If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-
cleaning to prevent staining.) The enamel grid and
broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-cleaning
oven. However, to help prevent heavy smoke
caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan,
you must first clean off the excess grease.
3. Clean spatters or spills on the oven front frame,
and the oven door outside the gasket with a
dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the
oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by
the self-clean cycle. On these areas use detergent
and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad.
Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.
This will help prevent a brown residue from
forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket. Never
use a commercial oven cleaner in or around the
self-cleaning oven.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the
top, sides and outside front of the oven door with
soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—
the fiberglass material of the gasket has an
extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact
and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation and good baking
results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become
displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.
4. Close the door and make sure the oven light
is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life
of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out
immediately.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.
Quick Reminder:
1. Latch the door.
2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to
AUTO SELF CLEAN.
