The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking
temperatures to clean the oven’s interior
automatically.

It is normal for smoking to occur during cleaning if the
oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven
regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy
build-up of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be
well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated
with cleaning.

Self Clean can only be run in one oven at a time.
While Self clean is running the other oven can not be
used for any function.

Before a self-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 the oven racks,
broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, and aluminum
foil or any other material
from the oven.

NOTE:

Remove all racks
including the
telescoping rack
before you begin a
self clean cycle.

• The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned,

but they will darken, lose their luster, and become
hard to slide It is recommended to remove all racks
before starting the self clean cycle.

• Soil on the front frame of the range 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.

• Do not leave baking/ pizza stone in the oven during

the self-clean cycle.

• DO NOT leave small children unattended near

the appliance.

- During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the

oven can become very hot to touch.

• Move Birds to another well-ventilated room.

- The health of some birds is extremely sensitive

to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any oven.

• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or

any other part of the oven with aluminum foil
or any other material.

- Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce

poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface of the oven.)

• DO NOT force the door open.

- This can damage the automatic door locking

system. Use care when opening the oven door
after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the door to allow hot air
or steam to escape. The oven may still be VERY
HOT.

• DO NOT block the oven vent(s) during the self-

cleaning cycle.

- This can damage the electric parts of the oven.

Air must be able to move freely.
