A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a ne powdered ash
you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
CLEAN
(For models that have a visible bottom bake element
ONLY): To help remove excessive spills from the oven
bottom, the lower element may be tilted up from the
front of the element.
Wait until the oven is completely cool and remove the
bottom oven rack before attempting to raise the element.
Do not to raise the lower element more than 4 or 5 inches
from the resting position.

Clean
IMPORTANT
• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY
ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid
possible damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are
not removed they may discolor.
• Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop
including cookware, utensils and ANY
ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum foil will not withstand
high temperatures from a self-clean cycle.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking
results and may cause permanent damage to the
oven interior. During self-clean temperatures in the
oven can become hot enough to melt aluminum foil.
• DO NOT use or spray oven cleaners or oven
protective coatings in or around any part of the oven
interior.
• Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area
at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas
(See Fig. 1) heat sufciently to burn soil on. Clean
using soap and water before starting self-clean.
• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
before starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy
water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or re when subjected to high temperatures.
DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie lling) to remain on the surface as they
may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).
The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or remove the gasket. DO NOT use any
cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage to the door gasket.
Read before starting self-clean
CAUTION
• DO NOT leave small children unattended near the
appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside
of the range can become very hot to the touch.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
• DO NOT force the oven door open when self-clean is
active. This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use caution when opening the door after the
self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
• The oven bake and broil elements may appear to
have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The
elements may still be hot and burns may occur if
these elements are touched before they have cooled
sufciently.
