Self Cleaning the Oven
Preparing the Oven for Self Clean
English 38
Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or Formula 409® to remove grease spatters
and stubborn stains.
Clean with hot sudsy water or apply Fantastik® or Formula 409® to a clean sponge or paper towel and
wipe clean. Avoid using powdered cleansers, steel wool pads and oven cleaners.
Immediately wipe up acid spills like fruit juice, milk and tomatoes with a dry towel. Do not use a moistened
sponge/towel on hot porcelain. When cool, clean with hot sudsy water or apply Bon-Ami® or Soft Scrub®
to a damp sponge. Rinse and dry. For stubborn stains, use soap filled pads. It is normal for porcelain to
show fine lines with age due to exposure to heat and food soil.
Always wipe or rub with grain. Clean with a soapy sponge then rinse and dry, or wipe with Fantastik® or
Formula 409® sprayed onto a paper towel. Protect and polish with Stainless Steel Magic® and a soft
cloth. Remove water spots with a cloth dampened with white vinegar. Use Bar Keeper's Friend® to
remove heat discoloration.
When cool, clean with soapy water, rinse and dry.
The oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the manual labor
involved with cleaning your oven. During self-cleaning, the oven uses a very
high temperature to burn away food soil and grease.
•
Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.
•
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 oven door locks at the beginning of the self-clean cycle.
•
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.
•
Four hours is the preset length of cleaning. The range can also be set to
clean for 3 or 5 hours.
•
The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.
•
When the oven cools after cleaning, the automatic door lock will release and
the door can be opened.
•
To cancel or stop while the mode is operating, press OFF.
•
The door will not unlock until the oven reaches a safe temperature.
1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.
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 Oven Cleaning Chart for proper care.
3. Wipe up excessive soil, spills and grease before self-cleaning the oven.
Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-
cleaning.
Recommendations
WARNING
A flexible door gasket is necessary for a good seal. Do not clean,
rub, damage or move the gasket.
