Maintenance
Self-cleaning (Available only on some models)
The oven has the self-cleaning cycles which uses high temperatures (well above
cooking temperatures) to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or
reduce them to a finely powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
To perform the self-cleaning cycle
CAUTION
Make sure the door lock is released. Remove oven racks and accessories before
starting the self-clean mode.
CAUTION
Do not use the cooktop while the oven is performing a self-cleaning cycle.
CAUTION
• Do not leave small children unattended near the range during the self-cleaning
cycle. The outside surfaces of the range can get extremely hot.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to fumes from a self-cleaning oven.
Relocate birds to a well-ventilated room away from the range.
• Do not line the oven, oven racks, or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Doing
so will result in poor heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. The aluminum foil will melt onto and
adhere to the interior oven surfaces.
• Do not force the oven door open during the self-cleaning cycle. This will
damage the automatic door-locking system. The door automatically locks when
the self-cleaning cycle is started and stays locked until the cycle is cancelled
and the oven temperature is below 400 °F.
• Use caution when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. The
oven will still be VERY HOT and hot air and steam might escape when the door
is open.
• Wipe off any excess spillage before using the self-cleaning operation.
• Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven cleaners or oven liners should
NEVER be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners
will damage the inside of the oven during a self-cleaning operation.
