Self-Cleaning Cycle
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from the 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.
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. Depending on your model, see the
“Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section in the Quick Start Guide.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Range
■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all
cooking utensils, oven racks, and aluminum foil and, on some
models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■ Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 1 1 /
2
"
(3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being
certain not to move or bend the gasket.
■ 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 will not
affect cooking performance.
■ Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may
melt.
■ Remove all items from the storage drawer.
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.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
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.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press the Cancel
keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain
locked and “cool” and “(lock symbol) ” will be displayed. The
cooling fan may continue to run.
When “locked” shows in the display, the door of the oven cannot
be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door
open when “locked” is displayed.
Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic
control requires a 12 hour delay before another Self-Cleaning
cycle can be started.
The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean
Time (on some models)
The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours
30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 15 or 30 minute
increments. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for
light soil and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30
minutes of the cycle is for cooldown.
To Self-Clean:
1. Press SELF CLEAN.
2. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” keypad to enter the desired
Self-Cleaning cycle time.
3. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock. The DOOR LOCKED
and CLEAN indicator lights will be displayed. The time
remaining will also be displayed.
4. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the
DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will turn off.
5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth.
To exit the Self-Cleaning cycle before completed, press
CANCEL. The door will unlock once the oven cools.
