Using the self-cleaning oven.

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
Remove the convection roasting rack,
broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
NOTE:
■ If your oven is equipped with nickel
oven shelves, remove them before you
begin the self-clean cycle.
■ If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven shelves, they
may be left in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
The nickel oven shelves (on some
models) and the convection roasting rack
can be self-cleaned, but they will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to slide.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub.
®. Rinse
well with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: 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.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other
than 4 hours, 30 minutes is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours,
30 minutes. You can change the clean
time to any time between 3 hours and
5 hours, depending on how dirty your
oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the LOCKED door
light goes off.
When the LOCKED door light is off, open
the door.
The oven shuts off automatically when
the clean cycle is complete.
■ The words LOCKED or LOCK DOOR will
flash and the oven control will signal
if you set the clean cycle and forget to
close the oven door.
■ To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED
door light goes off indicating the
oven has cooled below the locking
temperature, open the door.
■ While the oven is self-cleaning,
you can touch the CLOCK pad to
display the time of day. To return
to the clean countdown, touch
the COOKING TIME pad.
