OVEN CARE
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during
Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in
your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
burns, or illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.
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.
Self-clean the oven before it is heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in
longer cleaning and more smoke.
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. See "Oven Vent(s)" section.
Prepare Oven:
• Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
• Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. If
leaving in, place them on rack positions 2, 3 or 4. For
diagram, see "Positioning Racks and Bakeware". Racks will
discolor and become harder to slide. See "Cleaning" for more
information.
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1V2in. (3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being careful not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,
etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this
area.
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.
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.
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, however
the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30
minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours
30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth.
The oven lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On double oven models, only one oven can self-clean at a
time. If one oven is self-cleaning, the other oven can not be
set or turned on.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.
The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was
chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right
cavity symbol is the lower oven.
2. Press CLEAN.
Press the number pads to set a clean time other than 3 hour
30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 2 hours 30
minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.
3. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock and "DOOR LOCKED",
the start time and stop time will appear on the oven display.
The door will not unlock until the oven cools.
When the cycle is complete and the oven is cool, "End" will
appear on the oven display and "DOOR LOCKED" will
disappear.
4. Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven
display.
