IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first, unless otherwise noted.

EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models)

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Cleaning Method:

■ Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner, or nonabrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model/serial/rating plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.

■ Affresh®† Kitchen and Appliance Cleaner Part Number W10355010 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)

NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths, or abrasive paper towels. Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-time or limited use.

Cleaning Method:

■ Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

■ Affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

METALLIC PAINT (on some models)

Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaners with bleach, rust removers, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide (lye) because paint surface may stain.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish.

To avoid chipping, do not bang grates, and caps against each other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware. Do not reassemble caps on burners while wet.

Do not clean in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Cleaning Method:

■ Nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser: Clean as soon as cooktop, grates, and caps are cool.

■ Dishwasher (grates only, not caps): Use the most-aggressive cycle. Cooked-on soils should be soaked or scrubbed before going into a dishwasher. Although the burner grates are durable, they may lose their shine and/or discolor when washed in a dishwasher.

■ Gas Grate and Drip Pan Cleaner Part Number 31617 (not included): See the Quick Start Guide for ordering information.

SURFACE BURNERS

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates, and caps are cool. These spills may affect the finish.

To avoid chipping, do not bang grates and caps against each other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.

Do not reassemble caps on burners while wet.

Do not clean in the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Do not clean in dishwasher.

■ For racks that have discolored and are harder to slide, a light coating of vegetable oil applied to the rack guides will help them slide.

■ Dishwasher (steam rack water reservoir only, not racks): Although the water reservoir is durable, it may lose its shine and/or discolor when washed in a dishwasher.

STORAGE/WARMING DRAWER (on some models)

Check that storage/warming drawer is cool and empty before cleaning.

Cleaning Method:

■ Mild detergent

OVEN CAVITY

Do not use oven cleaners.

Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result.

Cleaning Method:

■ Self-Cleaning cycle: See the “Self-Cleaning Cycle” or “Clean Cycle” section first.

Self-Cleaning Cycle

WARNING Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from the oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see the Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section in the Quick Start Guide.

Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.

Prepare Range

■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks, and aluminum foil and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

■ Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 11/2" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.

■ Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

■ Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.

■ Remove all items from the storage drawer

How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.

Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool, damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press the Cancel keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked and “cool” and “(lock symbol) ” will be displayed. The cooling fan may continue to run.

When “locked” shows in the display, the door of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when “locked” is displayed.

Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic control requires a 12 hour delay before another Self-Cleaning cycle can be started.

The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time (on some models)

The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 15 or 30 minute increments. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the cycle is for cooldown.

To Self-Clean:

1. Press SELF CLEAN.

2. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” keypad to enter the desired Self-Cleaning cycle time.

3. Press START. The oven door will automatically lock. The DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining will also be displayed.

4. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will turn off.

5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To exit the Self-Cleaning cycle before completed, press CANCEL. The door will unlock once the oven cools.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

Use the following illustration as a guide.

Rack Positions

• Rack 5: Toasting bread or broiling thin, non-fatty foods
• Rack 4: two-rack baking and broiling
• Rack 3: Air fry basket, most baked goods on a cookie sheet, muffin pan, or jelly roll pan; layer cakes; broiling chicken pieces
• Rack 2: Pies, casseroles, yeast bread, quick breads, frozen convenience foods, and two-rack baking
• Rack 1: Roasting large and small cuts of meat and poultry

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Multiple Rack Cooking

Two-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 or 2 and 5.

Air Fry Basket

When using the Air Fry feature, position the air fry basket on top of a large baking sheet. Place basket and sheet in the middle of the oven to increase air flow and circulation. Avoid using more than one basket to avoid uneven cooking.

Baking and Roasting

Preheating

When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.

NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.

The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.

Temperature Management System

The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during bake to provide the best results. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Broiling

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.

When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack.

IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 4 or for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.

On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.

• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.

If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered. Please refer to the Quick Start Guide for contact information.

NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

Convection Baking, Roasting and Air Frying

NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook functions, will continue to count down.

During convection baking, roasting or air frying the bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature while the fan circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting, the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is closed.

NOTE: The convection fan will turn on approximately 5 minutes into any convection cycle.
