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
Steam Clean
(French Door models only)
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cleaning and works best if used as soon as possible after
spills occur. If spills are allowed to dry in the oven, they will be more difficult to remove.
1. Before starting the Steam Clean cycle, remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven.
2. For best results, pour 12 oz (355 mL) of room temperature distilled or filtered water onto the oven bottom.
Never pour cold water into a hot oven. Do not add any type of cleaner or additive to the water. Tap water
may leave mineral deposits.
3. Close the doors completely.
4. Turn the oven function selector knob to Steam Clean.
5. Turn the temperature control knob to Clean. At this time, the “clean” indicator light will come on. The
“clean” indicator light will remain on until the Steam Clean cycle is completed or interrupted
6. A complete Steam Clean cycle will take a total of 20 minutes.
7. Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
8. At the end of the cycle, there will be (4) one-second beeps. Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, turn
both the temperature control knob and the oven function selector knob to the OFF position.
9. Remove all remaining water and debris in the bottom of the oven with a sponge or cloth.
10. Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior and oven cavity.
11. Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. This may help with more stubborn stains.
12. If any soil remains, run a second Steam Clean cycle to help loosen debris for easier removal.
To stop the Steam Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the Steam Clean cycle, turn both the temperature control knob and the oven function
selector knob to the OFF position.
