RANGE MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

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 in your 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, aluminum foil, and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
  • Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 11/2" (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.
  • Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.

NOTE: The cooktop burners will not function during the SelfCleaning cycle.

IMPORTANT:

  • Oven temperature must be below 500°F (260°C) to program a clean cycle.
  • Only 1 oven can be cleaned at a time.
  • Both oven doors will lock when either oven is running the SelfCleaning 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 Precise Clean™ (on some models) Self-Cleaning cycle is a “one-touch” step that uses very high temperatures and dissolves soil to a powdery ash. The Precise Clean™ feature will automatically determine the length of cleaning time needed based on the number of times the oven has been used since the last Self-Cleaning cycle. The maximum clean time is 4 hours and the minimum clean time is 2 hours.

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 is disabled during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL UPPER/OFF UPPER or CANCEL LOWER/OFF LOWER. If the temperature is too high, the oven doors will remain locked.

When “LOCK” shows in the display, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the doors, do not force the doors open when “LOCK” is displayed.

Before self-cleaning, make sure the doors are completely closed or the doors will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.

NOTE: Only one oven can use the Self-Cleaning cycle at a time, and 12 hours must pass before the next Self-Cleaning cycle can begin.

The oven is preset for a 2 hour or 3 hour clean cycle; however, the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and between 3 hours and 4 hours for average to heavy soil.

Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired cleaning level.

Cleaning Level Recommended Cleaning Time (Includes a 30 Minute Cool-Down Time)
1 (Quick) 2 hours
2 2 hours 30 minutes
3 3 hours
4 (Reg) 3 hours 30 minutes
