Using the self-cleaning oven.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before a Clean Cycle
Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, probe and any aluminum foil
from the oven—they cannot withstand
the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE:
s The shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(on some models) can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
s
If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they may
be left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range
and outside the gasket on the door will
need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these
areas with hot water, soap-filled or plastic
scouring pads or cleansers such as Soft
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Turn all of the surface burners off.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad once for
a 4-hour (3-hour on some models)
clean time or twice for a 3-hour
(4-hour on some models) clean
time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills. A
self-clean time of 4 hours or longer
is recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 4 hours or
3 hours is needed, use the number
pads and enter the desired clean
time.
You can change the clean time to any
time between 3 hours (2 1
models) and 5 hours, depending on how
dirty your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the LOCKED light
goes off.
Scrub
and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in
place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: 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.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will
be able to open the door.
On models with Range Lock-Out,
touch and hold the RANGE LOCK-
OUT pad for 3 seconds to turn it off.
The word LOCKED will flash and the
s
oven control will signal if you set the
clean cycle and forget to close the
oven door.
s
To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED light
goes off indicating the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature, you
will be able to open the door.
