Using the self-cleaning oven.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.
Remove the racks, broiler pan, broiler
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
NOTE:
■
If your oven is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored oven racks, remove them
before you begin the self-clean cycle.
■
If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be
left in the oven during the 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.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
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.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Press the
SELF CLEAN
pad.
Using the
+
or
–
pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other
than 4 hours and 20 minutes
is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours
and 20 minutes. You can change the
clean time to any time between 3 hours
and 5 hours, depending on how dirty
your oven is.
Press the
START
pad.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the
LOCKED
door
light goes off.
When the
LOCKED
door light is off, open
the door.
The oven shuts off automatically when
the clean cycle is complete.
■
The words
LOCKED
or
LOCK DOOR
will
flash and the oven control will signal if
you set the clean cycle and forget to
close the oven door.
■
To stop a clean cycle, press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad. When the
LOCKED
door light goes off indicating the
