WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the
fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to
another closed and well-ventilated room.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see "Oven
Vent" section.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Range
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all
cooking utensils, oven racks and aluminum foil and, on some
models, the temperature probe from the oven.
Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the
1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being
certain not to move or bend the gasket.
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may
melt.
Remove all items from the storage drawer.
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom
cleaning.
Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the
Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C),
"OVEN COOLING" will appear in the display and the Steam Clean
feature will not activate until it cools down.
Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
For best results, use 10 oz (295 mL) of distilled or filtered water.
The Steam Clean feature will take a total of 20 minutes. A beep
will sound at the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT: Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not
open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Press CANCEL/OFF at any time to end the cycle. The display will
return to the time of day.

Self-Cleaning Cycle
(on some models)
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL/OFF. If
the temperature is too high the oven door will remain locked and
"cool" and "locked" will be displayed.
The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.
Electronic Oven Control with Precise Clean™ Feature (on
some models)
The Precise Clean™ self-cleaning cycle is a "one-touch" step that
uses very high temperatures and dissolves soil to a powdery ash.
The Precise Clean™ feature will automatically determine the length
of cleaning time needed based on the number of times the oven
has been used since the last self-cleaning cycle. The maximum
clean time is 4 hours and the minimum clean time is 2 hours.
To Self-Clean:
1. Press PRECISE CLEAN cycle. "PRECISE CLEAN REMOVE
RACKS SET CLEAN TIME OR PUSH START" will scroll in the
display.
2. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock. "LOCKING" and the stop
time will appear in the display. The remaining clean time will
also be displayed.
3. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools,
"UNLOCKING" will appear in the display. Press any keypad or
open the oven door to clear the display.
4. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth.
Steam Clean
(on some models)
Helpful Hints
Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, remove all remaining
water in the bottom of the oven with a sponge or cloth.
Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven
cavity interior sides, and cooktop.
Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior.
This may help with more stubborn stains.
It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap water
may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a cloth
soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any mineral
deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.
If the oven is heavily soiled, use the Self-Clean cycle. The
Steam Clean cycle may be used first to eliminate most of the
debris, resulting in a more effective self-clean.
