Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Timed Cooking allows the oven to be set to turn on at a certain

automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as
breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.

OVEN CARE
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 High Temp Self-Cleaning cycle.
Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds.
Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the High Temp Self-
Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the High Temp Self-Cleaning
cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model,
see "Oven Vent" or "Oven Vents" section.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The
door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Prepare Oven:
• Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
• Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
See "General Cleaning" section for more information.
• Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
• Hand clean inside door edge and the 11/2"(3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during high temp self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let
water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp
cloth to clean this area.
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This is normal
and will not affect cooking performance.
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 High Temp Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures,
burning soil to a powdery ash.
The oven is preset for a 4 hour 30 minute clean cycle; however,
the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 3 hours
30 minutes for light soil and between 4 hours 30 minutes and
5 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
