OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Total Cleaning Time: 3 hours

Before a Clean Cycle

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware

and any aluminum foil from the oven. (Oven shelves
may be left in the oven. NOTE: Shelves will
discolor after the self-clean cycle.)

2. Wipe up heavy soil on oven bottom. If you use

soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to
prevent staining.

3. 

Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame (A),

under the front edge of the cooktop, the door liner
outside the door gasket and the front edge of the
oven cavity (about 1“ into the oven). Use detergent
and 

 water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then

rinse well with a vinegar and water mixture. This
will help prevent a brown residue from forming when
the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.

Clean top, sides and outside front of oven door with
soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

Do not let 

water run down through 

openings in the

top of the door (B). To help prevent water from getting
in these openings when cleaning, open the door as far
as it will go.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket (C)—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 
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 
have it replaced.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover 

 is in place.

4. Close the oven door and make sure the 

 light

is off.

Oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning   en:
however, they will darken, lose their luster and 
hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil
after self-cleaning to make shelves slide more easily.

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.

Important

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be
set correctly for the clean cycle to work properly.

when the time shown on the clock
is reached.

Push in and turn the STOP TIME
knob. Set the Stop Time for three
hours later than present time of
