Self-cleaning

This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures)
to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or to reduce them to a finely
powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
CAUTION
• During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range will become very hot
to the touch. Do not leave small children unattended near the appliance.
• Some birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-
cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the range with
aluminum foil. Doing so will result in poor heat distribution, poor baking
results, and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will
melt and adhere to the interior surface of the oven.
• Do not force the oven door open while the oven is self-cleaning. This can
damage the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven
door after the self-cleaning cycle is complete. Stand to the side of the oven
when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still
be VERY HOT.

Remove oven racks and accessories before
starting the self-clean mode.
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the self-
cleaning cycle.
Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil
pan insert, all cookware, and any
aluminum foil from the oven.
Wipe up debris from the oven bottom.
(Fig. 1)
The silver-colored oven racks can be
self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose
their luster, and become hard to slide.
Residue 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
steel-wool pads, or cleansers such as
Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water
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, have
it replaced. (Fig. 2)
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.
