Self Cleaning the Oven Our ovens feature a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very high
temperature to burn away food soil and grease.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self-
Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in the
oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening
the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
• In a normal Self-Clean mode, the door does not lock at the beginning of the
cycle; However, it does lock prior to reaching the high self-clean tempera-
tures. The door lock symbol will appear in the display at this point. The door
does not lock at the start of the cycle.
• The oven light does not operate during this mode.
• During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate
odors associated with Self-Clean. Odors will lessen with use.
• Four hours is the preset length. The range can also be set to 3 or 5 hours.
• The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.
• When the oven heat returns to 350° F after cleaning, the automatic door lock
will release and the door can be opened.
• To cancel or stop while the mode is operating, press OFF.
