operating the self-cleaning oven
Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven clock is not
working, can I still self-clean
my oven?
A. No. The range clock is needed
to help start and stop your self-
cleaning cycle.
Q. Can I use commercial oven
cleaners on any part of my
self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should
be used around any part of this
oven. If you do use them and do not
thoroughly rinse the oven with
water, wiping it absolutely clean
afterwards, the residue can scar the
oven surface and damage metal
parts the next time the oven is
automatically cleaned.
Q. Can I clean the Woven
Gasket around the oven door?
A. No, this gasket is essential for
a good oven seal, and care must be
taken not to rub, damage or move
this gasket.
Q. What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil.
Touch the CLEAWOFF pad. Open
windows to rid room of smoke.
Wait until the oven has cooled
(about 20-30 minutes) and the
word "LOCK" is off in the display.
Wipe up the excess soil and reset
the clean cycle.
Q. Is the "crackling" sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal
heating and cooling during both the
cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor
during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there maybe a slight odor
during the first few cleanings.
Failure to wipe out excessive soil
might also cause a strong odor
when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like
lines on the enameled surface of
my oven?
A. This is a normal condition,
resulting from heating and cooling
during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave
a deposit which is ash. It can be
removed with a damp sponge
or cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What is the matter?
A. After many cleanings, oven
shelves may become so clean they
do not slide easily. To make shelves
slide more easily, after each self-
cleaning function dampen fingers
with a small amount of cooking oil
and rub lightly over sides of shelf
where they contact shelf supports.
Q. My oven shelves have become
gray after the self-clean cycle. Is
this normal?
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle,
the shelves may lose some luster
and discolor to a deep gray color.
Q. The word "door" appeared
on the display when I selected
the Clean Cycle. What's wrong?
A. The door latch handle must be
moved all the way to the right.
Move the latch handle and cleaning
will start.
Adjusting Oven Thermostat
When cooking a food for the first
time in your new oven, use time
given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,
may "drift" from the factory
setting and the differences in
timing between an old and a new
oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not
unusual and you may be inclined
to think that the new oven is not
performing correctly. However,
your new oven has been set
correctly at the factory and is
more apt to be accurate than the
oven it replaced.
If you think the oven should be
hotter or cooler, you can adjust it
yourself. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25°F. higher or
lower than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake. The results of
this "test" should give you an idea
of how much the temperature
should be changed.
To adjust temperature:
1. Touch BAKE pad.
2. Select an oven temperature
between 500°F. and 550°F.
3. Immediately, before BAKE
indicator stops flashing, press
and hold the BAKE pad for about
4 seconds. The red display will
change to the oven adjustment
display.
4. The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35°F. hotter
or (–) 35°F. cooler. Use the
INCREASE or DECREASE pads
to select the desired change in
the red display.
5. When you have made the
adjustment, press the CLEAWOFF
pad to go back to the time of day
display. Use your oven as
would normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not
affect Broil or Clean temperatures.
It will be remembered when
power is removed.
