RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during
Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
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.
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. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent”
or “Oven Vents” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Range:
■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware,
all cooking utensils, oven racks and aluminum foil and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■ Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 1
1
/2"
(3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being
certain not to move or bend the gasket.
■ 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.
■ Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they
may melt.
NOTE: The cooktop burners will not function during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
IMPORTANT:
■ Oven temperature must be below 500°F (260°C) to program
a clean cycle.
■ Only 1 oven can be cleaned at a time.
■ Both oven doors will lock when either oven is running
the Self-Cleaning cycle.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel
in the oven 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.
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 light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at anytime, press OFF UPPER
or OFF LOWER. If the temperature is too high, the oven doors
will remain locked.
When “LOCK” shows in the display, the doors of the oven
cannot be opened. To avoid damage to doors, do not force
the doors open when “LOCK” is displayed.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the doors are completely
closed or the doors will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle
will not begin.
NOTE: Only one oven can use the Self-Cleaning cycle at a
time, and 12 hours must pass before the nest Self-Cleaning
cycle can begin.
The oven is preset for a 3-hour clean cycle; however, the time
can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light
soil and between 3 and 4 hours for average to heavy soil.
Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired
cleaning level.
