Oven Care
Self-Cleaning Cycle
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during
Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure
to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move
birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle
to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Air must be able to move freely. See the “Oven Vents” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Prepare Oven:
■
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, and
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
■
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
■
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during high temp self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let
water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp
cloth to clean this area.
■
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This is normal
and will not affect cooking performance.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT:
The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in
the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks,
and popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning
soil to a powdery ash.
Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil, 4 hours for
medium soil, and 5 hours for heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp
cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
The oven lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
NOTE:
The oven has a two-speed cooling fan motor. During
self-clean, the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase
airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s).
An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after the
self-clean cycle until the oven cools.
To Start Self-Cleaning Cycle:
Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely
or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1.
For single ovens, touch SELF CLEAN. For double ovens,
touch TOOLS, select SELF CLEAN, and then touch the
desired oven to clean.
2.
Select the desired time/soil level, and then touch NEXT.
3.
Read the on-screen instructions, and then touch NEXT.
4.
Follow the on-screen directions. The oven will prompt you
to touch a series of keypads to confirm the self-clean cycle.
The oven will start locking the door and after a brief pause,
the self clean timer and mode status will appear on the
screen.
When the Self–Cleaning cycle has completed, the oven door
will remain locked until the oven cools. For best cleaning
performance, follow any on screen directions before
returning the oven to regular service.
To Stop Self-Cleaning Anytime:
Touch CANCEL for the appropriate oven. If the oven
temperature is too high, the door will remain locked.
It will not unlock until the oven cools.
