RANGE CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

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.
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” 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
1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being
certain not to move or bend the gasket.

Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may
melt.

Remove all items from the storage drawer.

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.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.
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.
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press the Cancel
keypad. If the temperature is too high the oven door will remain
locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed.
The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.

Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time (on
some models)

The SELF CLEAN self-cleaning cycle is time adjustable between
2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 15-minute
increments. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light
soil, and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of
the cycle is for cool down.

To Self-Clean:

1. Press SELF CLEAN.
2. Press the TEMP/TIME “+” or “-” keypads to enter the desired

self-clean cycle time.

3. Press START.

The oven door will automatically lock. The DOOR LOCKED and
CLEAN indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining
will also be displayed.

4. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the

DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will turn off.

5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp

cloth.
