Using the self-cleaning oven.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before a 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 racks, broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on
some models) 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 or plastic
scouring 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.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN STD/LOW pad
once for a 4-hour clean time or twice
for a 3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when cleaning
small, contained spills. A self-clean
time of 4 hours or longer is
recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 4 hours or 3 hours
is needed, use the number pads and
enter the desired clean time.
You can change the clean time to any time
between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending
on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The
display will show the clean time
remaining. It will not be possible to open
the oven door until the temperature
drops below the lock temperature and
the LOCKED light goes off.

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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will
be able to open the door.
The word LOCKED will flash and the
n
oven control will signal if you set the
clean cycle and forget to close the oven
door.
To stop a clean cycle, touch the
n
CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED light
goes off indicating the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature, you will
be able to open the door.
