Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation

Never wipe a warm or hot porcelain surface with a
damp sponge. It may cause chipping or crazing (tiny
hairlike lines).
Self-Clean Feature
With the self-clean feature, the oven is heated in gradu-
ated steps to a high preset temperature. During this
process, food soil is burned off, leaving some white ash
residue. For safety, the oven door automatically locks
during self-clean and unlocks when the oven has cooled
to below 300°F
(150°C)
. If you stop the self-clean cycle
before completion, the door will remain locked until the
oven has cooled sufficiently. Oven lights are deactivated
during self-clean.
Set in combination with delayed start feature, the self-
clean feature can be programmed to start at a later time.
Refer to delayed start feature on page 35.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For ranges with two ovens, only one
oven may be in self-clean mode at a time and the other
oven cannot be used. ‘OPP’ will be displayed in the oven
selector knob if you try to operate the opposite oven.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before using the self-clean feature,
remove all oven racks and rack guides. They will discolor
if left in the oven during self-clean. Refer to oven racks on
page 23.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Never use oven cleaners. They are not
necessary with the self-clean feature.
You may hear a popping or crackling sound during the
self-clean cycle. These sounds are normal and are caused
by the expansion and contraction of metal surfaces as
they heat up and cool down. It is also normal to see a brief
flame-up, depending on the amount and content of the
soil.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
A small amount of smoke and odor
may be noticed during the first self-clean cycle, as
residual oil and grease used during the manufacturing
process is burned off.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner
protective coatings on or around any part of the oven.
The oven gasket is important for a good seal. Do not
hand clean, rub, puncture or remove this gasket.
