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.
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 “Oven
Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Oven:
■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all
cooking utensils, oven racks, aluminum foil, and on some
models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■ Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 1½"
(38 mm) 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.
IMPORTANT:
■ Oven temperature must be below 500°F (260°C) to program a
clean cycle.
■ The oven door will lock when the oven is running the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
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.
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 light will not light during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL. If the
temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked.
When the oven is locked, the door of the oven cannot be opened.
To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when the
oven is locked.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed, or
the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
NOTE: 12 hours must pass before the next Self-Clean can begin.
The oven is preset for the recommended clean cycle; however, the
time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light
soil and between 4 hours and 5 hours for average to heavy soil.
