Self-Clean Cycle
CAUTION:
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
thorougly 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-CLEAN
CYCLE.
WARNING:
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all control are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
Do not clean, move, wet, or bend door gasket. Poor cleaning and
baking may result.
This range features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During
this cycle, the oven reaches elevated tempertures in order to burn off
soil and deposits. 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.
WARNING: Do not use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven.
Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can damage the
porcelain finishes. Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials. These items can melt or burn during a self-clean cycle,
causing permanent damage to the oven.
NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS, ABRASIVE CLOTHS,
ABRASIVE CLEANERS, CAUSTIC OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE
POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR OVEN.

Glass Surface
Clean with detergent and warm water. Glass cleaner can be used to
remove fingerprints. If using glass cleaner ammonia, make sure that it
does not run down on exterior door surface.
Brass Parts
CAUTION: All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy
coating. DO NOT USE BRASS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE
BRASS OPTION PARTS. All brass parts should be wiped regularly with
hot soapy water.
Broiler
There is no special care required for the infrared broiler. It is designed
as self-contained unit, and no adjustments or cleaning are possible. Do
not attempt to clean it. Its own operation burns off any impurities
which may condense on it.
Clean the broiler pan and grid after each use with detergent and hot
water. for stubborn spots, use a soap-filled steel wool pad. The broiler
pan and grid is also dishwasher safe.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured
with a soap-filled steel wool pad. DO NOT CLEAN THE OVEN RACKS
OR RACK SUPPORTS USING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE. They could
sustain damage due to the extreme heat of the Self-Clean cycle.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water
at the end of each cooling period and with liquid stainless steel cleaner
when soapy water will not do the job. Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cloths, abrasive cleaners, or powders. If necessary to scrap stainless
steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to
loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper.
Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape
stainless steel. For occasional heavy cleaning use, a cleaner such as
Liquid Zud™ can be used according to package directions. Do not
permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as
citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills
immediately.
