Built-in Oven Care and Use Manual Care and Cleaning
26
Your new oven features pyrolytic Self-Cleaning. When
set into the Clean mode, the oven reaches a high
temperature that burns off the food soil.
•
As a safety feature, the oven door locks during
Self-Clean to protect you from very high tempera-
tures. Do not try to open the oven during Self-
Clean mode.
• Only one oven can be set to self-clean at a time.
The second oven cannot be used while one is
self-cleaning.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional
flame-up during the Clean cycle, depending on
the content and amount of soil remaining in the
oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and
allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe
up the excessive food soil.
• The oven light will not turn on when the oven is
set for a clean cycle.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners as they
may damage finish or parts.
Self-Cleaning the Oven
Before You Self-Clean
1. Hand clean the oven door edge, window, oven
front frame and oven cavity edges (shaded
areas below). They do not get hot enough during

the inside window glass in the
oven door cool completely
before wiping up any ash left
from the clean cycle.
the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use a
soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or an S.O.S. ®
pad.
DO NOT RUB THE GASKET.
2 . Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper
towels.
3. Remove broiler pan, all utensils and bakeware.
4. Remove oven racks. If the oven racks are
left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, they
will permanently lose their shiny finish and change
to a dull dark finish. See Oven Cleaning for proper
care, Page 29.
NOTE: The Extendable Rack (C oven mod-
els) must be removed before a self-clean.
The rack may not be usable if it is left in
during self-clean.
5. Be sure the light is turned off on the control
panel and the bulb and glass cover are in place,
see Page 31.
6. Heat and odors are normal during the Self-Clean
cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated.
After Self-Clean
• At the end of the Clean cycle, gray ash remains
inside the oven. The amount of ash depends on
how heavily soiled the oven was before it was
cleaned. It is easily removed, when the oven is
cold, using a damp sponge or cloth. If the racks do
not slide easily after being self-cleaned, lightly rub
rack side rails with vegetable oil. Wipe off excess.

NOTE: Due to the high temperatures used for
self-cleaning, fine lines or surface roughness
may develop in oven cavity. This is a common
condition and does not affect either the cooking
or the cleaning performance of the oven.
