Self-Cleaning Function

• Only one oven at a time can be set to Self-
Clean.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an
occasional flame-up during the Self-Clean
cycle, depending on the content and amount
of soil remaining in the oven.
If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow
it to cool before opening the door to wipe up
the excessive food soil.
• The door latch is automatically activated after
selecting the Self-Clean cycle.
The door lock symbol will appear in the
display.
This ensures that the door cannot be opened
while the oven interior is at clean
temperatures.
• The oven light does not operate during this
mode.
• During Self-Clean, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to help eliminate odors associated
with Self-Clean.
Odors will lessen with use.·
• Three hours is the preset length of cleaning.
• The mode automatically stops at the end of
the clean hours.·
• When the oven heat drops to a safe
temperature, the automatic door lock will
release and the door can be opened.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Clean
1. Remove all utensils and bake ware.
2. Remove oven racks. If oven racks are left in
the oven during the self-clean cycle, they will
permanently lose the shiny finish and change
to a dull dark finish.
See Care & Cleaning for proper care, see
page 26.
3. Wipe up any soft soil spills and grease with
paper towels.
Excess grease will cause flames and smoke
inside the oven during self-cleaning.
4. Review illustration below.
Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by
hand before the cycle begins.
They do not get hot enough during the
cleaning cycle for soil to burn away.
Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber.
Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front
frame and up to 1-½ " (2-3 cm) inside the
frame with detergent and hot water.
Do not rub the gasket on oven. Hand clean
the oven door window.
Rinse all areas thoroughly then dry.
5. Be sure oven interior lights are turned off and
the light bulbs and lens covers are in place.
