Care and Cleaning
WARNING
• Always wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a
damp cloth prior to using the self-clean cycle. Doing so will
minimize smoke and increase efficiency. See the proper
cleaning instructions on this page.
• Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the
self-clean cycle. They will be hot.
• Items left in the oven (including the racks) during self-cleaning
will become damaged or damage the oven.
How to Use the Self-clean Feature
IMPORTANT
• On double ovens, the control panel will only allow one oven
chamber to be self-cleaned at a time due to the amount of
power consumed. Also, the double oven will not allow you to
cook in one oven while the other is in self-clean mode.
• The oven lights do not operate while the oven is in self-clean
mode to protect them from damage.
• Self-clean will not work with the meat probe connected (the
meat probe symbol will flash).
1. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the
convection lter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.),
the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from
the oven chamber. See page 17 for lter cleaning
instructions.
2. Clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door
outside of the door gasket. Rinse surfaces well with
a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. Heav-
ily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching
scouring pad.
3. Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of
water and mild soap.
CAUTION
• Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket.
Rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door seal
required for proper cooking and self-cleaning.
• Do not try to force the door open after it is locked. Damage to
the door or latch may result.
4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors
during the self-clean cycle.
5. Make sure the oven door is shut.
6. Touch the Self-clean key.
7. Touch the START key (located on the far left of the
control panel).
The control panel automatically locks the oven door
during self-cleaning. The latch prevents the door from
being opened since the high interior oven temperatures
can easily cause injury. If the door is not shut, an error
message will appear on the display. To correct the prob-
lem, touch CANCEL · SECURE and wait approximately
one minute, then close the door. When the door is prop-
erly closed, start the self-clean process again.
The display shows the self-clean cycle status:
• The clean symbol indicates that self-clean is
in process.
• The lock symbol indicates that the door is
latched.
• “ON” indicates that the heating elements are on.
If you want to stop the self-clean cycle, touch the
CANCEL · SECURE key. Keep in mind that the oven door
will remain locked until it is safe enough to open. The lock
symbol will disappear from the display when the door lock
is released. You will still need to exercise caution when
the door lock is released because the inside of the oven
may still be hot.
After the self-clean cycle is complete...
• The door latch will release when the inside has cooled
down. The clean icon, lock icon and “ON“ will dis-
appear from the display. Exercise caution because
the oven will still be hot at the time the door lock is
released.
• Reinstall the convection lter and oven racks before
using your oven.
• You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of
the oven after self-cleaning. This condition is normal.
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue
after the oven cools down.
Self-cleaning Tips
• If any soil remains in the oven after the self-clean
cycle is complete, you may repeat the cycle if you
want.
• Self-clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil
build-up. Doing so will make the self-clean cycle work
better and reduce smoke and odors.
Setting the Oven to Self-clean at a Later
Time
1. Prepare the oven for self-cleaning as instructed above.
Observe all safety precautions and remove all items
listed from inside the oven. Clean the door gasket and
around the door as instructed.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Touch the Self-clean key.
4. Touch the START TIME key.
