Setting Oven Controls
Self Clean
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures that
are well above normal cooking temperatures. The high cleaning
temperature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a
fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp
cloth.
The Self Clean function allows you to set any amount of
cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning time is
best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a
4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.
Read before starting Self Clean
Be sure to read all the following caution and important state-
ments BEFORE starting the self-cleaning cycle:
DO NOT leave small children unattended near
the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the
range can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or
any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt
to the interior of the oven.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door locking system.
Use caution when opening the oven door after
self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and can cause
burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when
opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
Important note:
Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY ACCESSORIES
FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid damage to oven racks. If the
oven racks are not removed they may discolor.
• Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop including
cookware, utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum
foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self-clean
cycle and will melt.
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside
the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center
of the oven bottom (Figure 50). These areas heat sufficiently
to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting
Self Clean.
• Remove any excessive spill overs. Any spills on the oven
bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting a
self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Large spill overs can cause heavy smoke or fire when
subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills
with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface
as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (Figure 50). The woven
material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove
the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door
gasket.
1. Be sure the oven is empty and ALL oven racks are removed.
Remove all items from the cooktop. Be sure oven door is
completely closed.
2. Press Self Clean for a default 3-hour clean time. After
pressing Self Clean you may accept the default 3-hour
clean time by going to step 3. At this time you may choose
a different clean time. The amount of clean time must be
within 2 to 4 hours and entered using the numeric keys
pads. Enter 2 0 0 for a 2-hour time or enter 4 0 0 for a 4-
hour self-clean time. You may choose a 2 hour 15 minute
clean time by entering 2 1 5 (hours and minutes).
3. Press to activate Self Clean.
