CAUTION
Do not touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning cycle has
begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch! During the
first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may be some odor
and smoking from the curing of the binder in the high-density insulation
used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will
disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor
characteristic of high temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-vented during
the self-cleaning cycle.
All ovens (with the exception of the French Door single/upper oven) feature an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle,
the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors
associated with the soil burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the Self-Clean cycle. The door
latch is automatically activated after selecting the Self-Clean setting. The latch ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven
interior is at clean temperatures.
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven. The high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can discolor,
warp, and damage these items. The oven rack supports are designed to remain in the oven during the Self-Clean cycle. Do not use foil
or liners in the oven. During the Self-Clean cycle foil can burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. Never use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions of
the door.
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very difficult to
clean if not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame with detergent and hot
water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Self-Clean Cycle
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the self-clean mode.
3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean setting until the knob stops. At this time, the clean indicator light will come on.
Within 30 seconds the automatic door latch engages and the oven indicator light comes on. The oven indicator light will remain on
until the oven reaches the self-clean temperature and will then cycle on and off during the self-clean cycle.
4. The “clean” indicator light will remain on until the self-clean is completed or interrupted and the oven temperature drops to a safe
temperature. A complete cycle approximately 3 1/2 hours with an additional 30 minutes needed for the oven to cool down enough for
the door latch to disengage. NOTE: A fan noise will be heard during the self-clean cycle and will continue to run for the 3 1/2 hour
duration of the self-clean cycle.
5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and temperature control knob to the off position. When the oven has
completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp cloth.
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the temperature control knob and the oven function selector knob to OFF. When
the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door latch will release and the oven door can be opened. When the
oven has completely cooled, remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.
