Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and between 3.0 hours and
3.5 hours for average to heavy soil.
•
Clean mode stops automatically at the end of the set cleaning time.
•
When the oven heat drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door lock will
release and the door can be opened.
•
The oven light does not operate during Clean mode.
BEFORE SELF-CLEANING
1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.
2. Remove non-porcelain oven racks. If chromed 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 Finishes/Cleaning Methods" for proper care.
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. Be sure oven interior lights are turned off and the light bulbs and lens covers are
in place.
5. Some areas of the oven such as the oven door edge, oven door window, oven
front frame and up to 1½" (2-3 cm) inside the frame do not get hot enough during
the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away and must be cleaned by hand. BEFORE the
cycle begins, clean oven interior using a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber and a
solution of detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry all areas thoroughly.
NOTE: Do not rub the oven door gasket.
SELF-CLEAN CYCLE
A minimum 24-hour wait is recommended between cleaning cycles.
To Self-Clean:
1. Close the oven door.
2. Press SELF CLEAN. "REMOVE RACKS" will scroll in the selected oven text area of
the display.
3. "2:00 3:00 3:30" will appear in the display.
4. Use the number keypad to select the clean level.
