SELF-CLEAN

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 cannot be
used for any function.
CAUTION
• 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.
Before a Self-Clean Cycle
Open a window or use a fan or ventilation hood to
keep the kitchen ventilated 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.
Don't hand

Remove any debris
from door
• Remove all racks before starting the self-clean
cycle. Silver-colored oven racks can be self-
cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster, and
become hard to slide.
• 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.
