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 Self-Clean
(HI - LO)
The self-cleaning cycle can be set at HI self-clean time (4 hours
30 minutes) or LO self-clean time (3 hours 30 minutes). The
suggested clean times are 3 hours 30 minutes for light soil, or
4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the
cycles is for cool down.
To Self-Clean:
1. Press SELF CLEAN to set the clean time to HI (4 hours
30 minutes).
2. Press the TEMP/TIME “+” or “-” keypads to cycle between
LO and HI clean time.
3. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock. The CLEAN indicator
light will be displayed. The time remaining will also be
displayed.
4. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools,
the CLEAN indicator light will turn off.
5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a
damp cloth.
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products. For additional information, you can visit the
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section of our website at
www.maytag.com.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless
otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some
models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may
affect the finish.

■ Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing
pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate
because scrubbing may remove numbers.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)
NOTE: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use
soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Cleaner,
steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or abrasive paper towels.
Damage may occur to stainless steel surfaces, even with one-
time or limited use.

surface may stain.
CERAMIC GLASS
Cleaning Method:
Cooktop Cleaner Part Number 31464 is recommended regularly
to help avoid scratches, pitting and abrasions and to condition
the cooktop.
Cooktop Scraper Part Number WA906B is also recommended for
stubborn soils. These can be ordered as accessories. See cover
for contact information. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades.
Store razor blades out of the reach of children.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine
bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.
Light to moderate soil

Sugary spills (jellies, candy, syrup)
■ Clean with cooktop scraper and cooktop cleaner. Scrape off
sugary spills while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to
wear oven mitts while cleaning the cooktop.

■ Clean with Cooktop Cleaner or nonabrasive cleanser:
Burned-on soil

down. The marks will not totally disappear, but after many
cleanings they will become less noticeable.

do not affect cooking performance, and after many cleanings
they will become less noticeable.
