Prepare Oven
� Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
� Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See
“General Cleaning” section for more information.
� Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
� Hand clean inside door edge and the 1

" (3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain 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 is normal
and 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.
Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil, 4 hours for
medium soil, and 5 hours for heavy soil (includes a 30 minute
cool-down time).
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 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 cannot be set or
turned on.
NOTE: The oven has a two-speed cooling fan motor. During the
Self-Cleaning cycle, the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to
increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven
vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after
the Self-Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.
To Start Self-Cleaning
Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. When the oven is
locked, the doors of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage
to the doors, do not force the doors open when the oven is locked.
1. Touch the Tools keypad.
2. Select the Self Clean icon.
(On double-oven models): Select Upper Cavity or Lower
Cavity.
3. Select type of Self-Cleaning:
Steam: 1 hour: Clean up after everyday light spills using lower
heat and 1

cups (295.74 mL) of water.
High temp: 4 hours: 3 hour cycle and 1 hour cooling.
High temp: 5 hours: 4 hour cycle and 1 hour cooling.
High temp: 6 hours: 5 hour cycle and 1 hour cooling.
4. Follow the prompts on the oven display to prepare the oven.
5. Select START to begin the cleaning process.
OR
Select DELAY START to set a delayed Self-Cleaning cycle.
See the “To Delay Start Self-Cleaning Cycle” Section.
The oven doors will automatically lock.
NOTE: It may take a couple moments for the oven door to
automatically lock after starting the Self-Clean Cycle.
When the self cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools,
the oven doors will unlock.
6. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth.
To Delay Start of Self-Cleaning
Follow steps 1 through 4 above, then:
1. Select DELAY START or DELAY.
2. Select the start time of when the Self-Cleaning cycle should
begin by scrolling from left to right.
3. Select START DELAY.
The oven doors will automatically lock after the Delay Start
countdown.
When the Self-Cleaning cycle is complete and the oven cools,
the oven doors will unlock.
4. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth.
To Stop Self-Cleaning anytime
Touch the Oven Cancel Keypad for single oven models, or the
keypads for double oven models. If the oven temperature is too
high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven
cools.
Steam Clean (on some models)
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom
cleaning on models that have hidden bake in the oven.
Do not use oven cleaners.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the
Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C),
the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
For best results, use 10 oz (295.7 mL) of distilled or filtered water.
The Steam Clean feature will take approximately 1 hour. A tone
will sound at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Because the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not
open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Touch the Oven Cancel keypad for single oven models and the
Upper/Lower keypads for double oven models at any time to end
the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.
Helpful Hints
� Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete and the oven is
completely cooled, remove all remaining water in the bottom of
the oven with a sponge or cloth.
� Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven
cavity interior sides, and cooktop.
� Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.
This may help with more stubborn stains.
� It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap
water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a
cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any
mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.
� If the oven is heavily soiled, use the Self-Cleaning cycle. The
Steam Clean cycle may be used first to eliminate most of the
debris, resulting in a more effective self-cleaning.
