RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle
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.
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, aluminum foil, and, on some
models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■ Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 1

(38 mm) 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.
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.
The oven light is disabled during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press CANCEL. If
the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked and
“cool” and “locked” will be displayed.
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.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time
The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours
30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 15-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-Cleaning 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.
