The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
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:
Take the racks out of the oven
before you begin the self-clean cycle
or they may discolor.
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.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
WARNING:
The surface
units are automatically disabled during
the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all
surface unit controls are turned off at all
times during the self-clean cycle. Any
surface unit that is set to an on position,
while the self-clean cycle is operating, will
automatically come on after the self-clean
cycle is finished, and could result in an
on, unattended surface unit. Wait until
the self-clean cycle is finished to set and
use the surface units.
Touch the
CLEAN
pad once for a
4-hour clean time or twice for a
3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills.
A self-clean time of 4 hours or
longer is recommended for
a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 4 hours or
3 hours is needed, use the number
pads and enter the desired
clean time.
You can change the clean time to any
time between 2
1
⁄
2
hours and 5 hours,
depending on how dirty your oven is.
Touch 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
light
goes off.
When the
LOCKED
light goes off, you will
be able to open the door.
■
The word

will flash and the

will display if you set the
clean cycle and forget to close the
oven door.
■
To stop a clean cycle, touch the
