This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this
cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil
and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors
associated with the soil burn-off. A powder ash residue is left in the
bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door
latch is automatically activated after selecting the self-clean setting. The
latch ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven interior is
at clean temperatures.
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven.
The high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can discolor,
warp, and damage these items. DO NOT use foil or liners in the
oven. During the self-clean cycle foil can burn or melt and damage
the oven surface.
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER
use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions
of the door.
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle
begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very difficult to
clean if not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the
door frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame with detergent and
hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the “SELF CLEAN” mode.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to the clean setting stop. At this
time, the clean indicator light will come on. Within 30 seconds the
automatic door latch engages and the oven indicator light comes
on. The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven reaches
the self-clean temperature and will then cycle on and off during the
self-clean cycle. When the oven reaches the elevated temperature
needed for self-clean, the door lock indicator light comes on.
4. The door lock indicator light will remain on until the self-clean is
completed or interrupted and the oven temperature drops to a safe
temperature. A complete cycle is approximately 2-1/2 hours with an
additional 30 minutes needed for the oven to cool down enough
for the door latch to disengage.
Note: A fan noise will be heard during the self-clean cycle and will
continue to run for the 2-1/2 hour duration of the self-clean cycle.
5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and
temperature control knob to the “OFF” position. When the oven
has completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from the
oven surfaces with a damp cloth.
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the temperature
control knob and the oven function selector knob to “OFF”. When the
oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door latch
will release and the oven door can be opened. When the oven has
completely cooled, remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp
sponge or cloth.
CAUTION
WARNING
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning
cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the
touch! During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used,
there may be some odor and smoking from the curing of the binder in
the high-density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is
thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent
self-cleaning cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high
temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-vented during the
self-cleaning cycle.
