CARE AND CLEANING
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.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures,
■
burning soil to a powdery ash.
Heavy soil accumulations may require multiple cleaning
■
cycles.
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute Self-Cleaning
■
cycle. The oven will cool for an additional 30 minutes after
cleaning is completed.
To Use Self-Clean:
Turn the Mode and Temperature Knobs to the Clean position.
The knob indicator lights will illuminate to show that a selection
has been made.
The Start button indicator light will blink to prompt for action.
Press the Start button to begin the cleaning cycle.
The door(s) will lock.
NOTE: The oven will cool for an additional 30 minutes after
cleaning is completed.
To Start Self-Clean:
1. Turn the Mode Knob to the Clean position.
2. Turn the Temperature Knob to the Clean position.
3. Press the Start Button.
NOTE: All operations must be completed within 30 seconds
or the unit will return to Idle Mode.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

To Stop Self-Clean Any Time:
Move the Temperature Knob to OFF position to stop self-clean.
If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It
will not unlock until the oven cools.
Once the oven has completely cooled:
Remove ash with a damp cloth.
■
If soil remains after wiping, that means the length of the Self-
■
Cleaning cycle was not long enough for the amount of soil in
the oven. Repeat the Self-Cleaning cycle if desired or the soil
will be removed during the next Self-Cleaning cycle.
To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth
■
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
The oven lights will not light during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
■
On 48" (121.9 cm) ranges, only one oven can self-clean at a
■
time. If one oven is self-cleaning, the other oven cannot be
set or turned on.
NOTE: The oven has a dual speed cooling fan motor. During self-
cleaning, the fan(s) will operate at their highest speed to increase
airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s).
An increase of noise may be noticeable during and after the Self-
Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.
