Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils
completely or reduces them to a ne powdered ash you can
wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• DONOTuse oven cleaners or oven protective coatings
in or around any part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
• DONOT clean the oven door gasket. 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.
• DONOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and
any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand
high cleaning temperatures.
• Remove oven racks. If they are not removed during the
Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the
nish will be dull. After the cycle is complete and the
oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad
oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack
position).
• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity
before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. 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.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside
the oven door gasket and the small area at the front
center of the oven bottom. These areas heat sufciently
to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining
on the oven bottom should be removed.
The Bake element is located in the lower oven cavity (See
illustration at left).The bake element is designed to be tilted
up using your hand from the front of the bake element. This
will allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning.
Remove the Bottom Rack before raising the element. Be
careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5 inches
from the resting position.
SELF-CLEANING
CAUTION
CAUTION
Note: See additional
cleaning information
for the oven door in
the General Care &
Cleaning section.
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
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 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 cause
permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil
will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
DO NOT force the oven door open. 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.
