How to Set the Upper/Lower Oven for Cleaning
The oven doors must be closed and all controls
set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Touch the SELF CLEAN HI/LO pad once
for a 5-hour clean time or twice for a
3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended
for use when cleaning small, contained
spills. A self-clean time of 5 hours is
recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 5 hours or 3 hours is
needed, use the number pads and enter
the desired clean time.
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 upper and lower oven doors lock
automatically. The display will show the clean
time remaining. It will not be possible to open
the oven doors until the temperature drops
below the lock temperature and LOCKED goes
off in the control display.
When LOCKED goes off, you will be able to
open the doors.
„ The word LOCKED will flash and the word
door will display if you set the clean cycle
and forget to close the oven doors.
„ To stop a clean cycle, touch the CLEAR/OFF
pad. When LOCKED goes off, indicating
the ovens have cooled below the locking
temperature, you will be able to open the
doors.
You can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the
same time; however, they will not self-clean
at the same time. The last oven set will
automatically delay its start until the end of the
first oven’s clean cycle.
When either oven is set to self-clean, both oven
doors will lock. The ovens cannot be used when
one of the ovens is set to self-clean.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the
heating element. Doing so could
damage the element.
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 any broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
NOTE:
„ If your oven is equipped with shiny, silver-
colored oven racks, remove them before you
begin the self-clean cycle.
„ If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-
coated oven racks, they may be left in the
oven during the self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the oven 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 oven. Move
birds to another well-ventilated room.
