The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures
to clean the oven's interior automatically.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming 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.
CAUTION
• During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
can become very hot to 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-Cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other
part of the range with aluminum foil. 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 oven 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.
Before a Self-Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your
kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or
hood during the first self-clean
cycle.
Remove the oven racks, broiler
pan, broiler grid, all cookware,
and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
Note:
Remove silver-colored
oven racks before you
begin the self-clean
cycle.
SELF-CLEAN
Wipe up heavy soil on the
oven bottom.
Don't hand
clean oven
door gasket
Do hand
clean door
• The 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.
