Setting Self-Clean Cycle
Using the self-clean feature
Adhere to the Following Cleaning
Precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior
parts of the oven manually.
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of
the oven can become very hot to the touch. DO
NOT leave small children unattended near the
appliance.
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure the
oven is turned off or else push CANCEL
Wait until the oven is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protective coatings in or around any part of the self-
cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The gasket
on the oven door is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or move the
gasket.
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the gasket.
Doing so could damage it.
DO NOT use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
This may affect cooking or foil could melt and
damage the oven surface.
Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning:
• Remove any excess spillovers in the oven
cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To
clean, use hot soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause smoke or a fire when
subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow
food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or
pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may
leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame and the
door liner (see illustration). These areas heat
sufficiently during a self-clean to burn soil on.
Clean with hot soapy water.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and any foil. These items can not withstand high
cleaning temperatures.
• This model comes with lubricated porcelain
oven racks, which can remain in the oven during
the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable
oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that
the sides of the oven racks always have a light
coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal
rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every
self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes
pad.
difficult to slide.
• After a self-clean cycle, or anytime the gliding
is rough, the glide racks should be treated with
graphite lubrication. For instructions on how to
care for your oven racks, see "Caring for Your
Porcelain Enameled Glide Racks" in the Care
and Cleaning section.
• 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.
