Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, probe and any aluminum foil
from the oven—they cannot withstand the high
cleaning temperatures.
NOTE:
■ If your oven is equipped with nickel
oven racks, remove them before you begin
the self-clean cycle.
■ If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-
coated oven racks, they may be left in the
oven during the self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the front frame will
need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these
areas with hot water, soap-filled scouring
pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®? Rinse
well with clean water and dry. Wipe off
the flat inner door with soapy water and a
sponge.
Do not
clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the front frame 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.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
NOTE: Use caution when opening the upper
and lower oven after the self-clean cycle has
ended. The oven may still be hot.
NOTES:
■ The surface burners must
be turened off prior to the
self-clean start time
■ Both ovens cannot be self-
cleaned at the same time.
■ Cooktop burners and the oven
not in self-clean mode will not
start during self-clean cycle.
How to Set the Upper Oven for Cleaning

step 1. It will not be possible to open the oven
door until the temperature drops below the

The oven shuts off automatically when the
clean cycle is complete.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, the

pad then turn the oven control knob to the
OFF position. After some period of time, the
LOCKED DOOR light will go off. This will
