Self=Cleaning
Preparing for a Self-Clean cycle
During the Self-Cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the 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
caution when opening the door after the
Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The
oven may still be VERY HOT.
Note: See additional cleaning information
for the oven door in the General Care &
Cleaning
section.

Self-Cleaning
Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Prepare for the Self-Cleaning
Cycle with the following
precautions:
*
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
*
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.
*
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
*
Remove the broiler pan & insert, all utensils
& ANY aluminum
foil.
These items cannot withstand
high cleaning
temperatures.
*
Remove the oven racks. If the racks are left in the oven during the Self-
Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue & the finish will be dull. After
the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven
racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this
will make the oven racks glide easier into the oven rack positions).
*
Remove any excessive
spillovers
in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures.
DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
*
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
*
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the
oven bottom should be removed.
