MAINTENANCE
SELF-CLEAN
The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking
temperatures to clean the oven’s interior automatically.
It is normal for smoking to occur during cleaning if
the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven
regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-
up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with
cleaning.
Self Clean can only be run in one oven at a time.
While Self Clean is running the other oven cannot be used
for any function.
•
DO NOT leave small children unattended near
the appliance.
− During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of
the oven can become very hot to touch.
•
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
− The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any oven.
•
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or
any other part of the oven with aluminum foil
or any other material.
− Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface of the oven.)
•
DO NOT force the door open.
− This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use care when opening the oven door
after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side
of the oven when opening the door to allow
hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
•
DO NOT block the oven vent(s) during the self-
cleaning cycle.
− This can damage the electric parts of the oven.
Air must be able to move freely.
CAUTION
Before a Self-Clean Cycle
Open a window or use a fan or ventilation hood to keep
the kitchen ventilated during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, and aluminum foil or any other material from
the oven.
Remove all racks including the telescoping rack
before you begin a self clean cycle.
Don’t hand
clean oven
door gasket
Remove
any debris
from door
NOTE
•
Remove all racks before starting the self-clean cycle.
Silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they
will darken, lose their luster, and become hard to slide.
•
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the
gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand.
Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool
pads, or cleansers such as Soft Scrub; Rinse well with
clean water and dry.
•
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of
the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is
essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
•
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
•
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off.
•
Do not leave baking/ pizza stone in the oven during
the self-clean cycle.
