Self-Cleaning
During the self-
cleaning cycle, the outside of the
oven can become very hot to the
touch. DO NOT leave small children
unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-clean cycle of any
wall oven. Move birds to another well
ventilated room.
DO NOT line the
oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the appliance with
aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy
heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent
damage to the interior (aluminum
foil will melt to the interior surface of
the oven).
DO NOT force the
oven door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system.
Use caution when opening the door
after the Self-Cleaning cycle is
completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.

What to Expect during Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking.
Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.
Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual.
This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above
cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them
to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
•
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
•
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven
manually.
•
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the
oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
•
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing
so could cause damage.
•
Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil from the oven. These
items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
•
Oven racks may be removed or left in the oven during the self-
clean cycle for cleaning. If the racks are cleaned in the self-clean
cycle, their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull.
After the self-clean cycle is completed and the oven has cooled, rub
the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier
into the rack positions).
•
Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting
the Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth.
Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain
on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
DO Hand
•
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door

gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the
oven bottom should be removed.
Some models have an exposed Bake element in the lower oven cavity.
On these models the bake element is designed to be tilted up using your
hand from the front of the bake element. This will allow easier access to
the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element more
than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
cooled after they have been turned OFF. The elements may still be hot
and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have
cooled sufficiently.
The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have
