Self-cleaning
This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures)
to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a nely
powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
CAUTION
• During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range will become very hot
to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
• Some birds are 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 result in poor heat distribution, poor baking
results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will
melt and adhere to the interior surface of the oven.
• Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle is
complete. 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.
Before a self-cleaning cycle
Fig. 1
• We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the self-
cleaning cycle.
• Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil
pan insert, all cookware, and any
aluminum foil from the oven.
• Wipe up debris from the oven bottom.
(Fig. 1)
• The silver-colored oven racks can be
self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose
their luster, and become hard to slide.
Don’t hand
clean the oven
door gasket.
You may
hand clean
the door.

• Residue 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-
lled steel-wool pads, or cleansers such
as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean
water and dry.
• Do not clean the gasket. The berglass
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, have it replaced. (Fig. 2)
• Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.
NOTE
Remove oven racks and accessories before
starting the self-clean mode.
