CARE AND CLEANING
METAL MARKS AND SCRATCHES
Do not slide pots and pans across the cooktop.

Doing so will leave metal markings on the cooktop
surface. To help remove these marks, use a ceramic
cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad for ceramic
cooktops.
If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper
2
are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may leave a
black discoloration on the cooktop. This should be
removed immediately before heating again or the
discoloration may become permanent.
CAUTION:
Cookware with rough or uneven bottoms can mark or
scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.
• Do not use cookware with any dirt buildup on bottom.
J SELF CLEAN
J
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 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.
