47 MAINTENANCE
ENGLISH Self Clean
The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures
to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean
cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is
normal; especially if the oven is heavily soiled.
During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning.
Before Starting Self Clean
• Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from
the oven.
• The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize
the odors from cleaning.
• Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the
oven.
• Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
• The oven light cannot be turned on during a Self
Clean cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on
until the oven temperature has cooled below
500 ˚F (260 ˚C) after a Self Clean cycle is complete.
CAUTION
• Do not leave small children unattended near
the appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the
outside of the range can become very hot to
the touch.
• If you have pet birds, move them to another
well-ventilated room. The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the Self Clean cycle of any range.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the range 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
Clean 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.
During the Self Clean cycle, the cooktop elements
and warming drawer cannot be used.
NOTE
• Remove oven racks and accessories before
starting the Self Clean cycle.
• If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during
the Self Clean cycle, they will discolor and
become difficult to slide in and out.
• Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot
soapy water. Rinse well.
• 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 that the oven light bulb cover is in
place and the oven light is off.
• It is normal for the fan to operate during the Self
Clean cycle.
