SELF CLEAN

The self clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures to clean the oven cavity. You may see some
smoke and smell an odor the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time. Smoke
may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled. During self clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize
the odors from cleaning. The UPPER & LOWER SELF CLEAN cannot be operated simultaneously.
CAUTION
• DO NOT leave small children unattended near
the appliance.
- During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the
range can become very hot to touch.
• Move Birds to another well-ventilated room.
- The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the Self Cleaning
cycle of any range.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or
any other part of the range with aluminum foil
or any other material.
- Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause permanent
damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface of the oven).
• DO NOT force the door open.
- This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use care when opening the oven door
after the Self Cleaning cycle. 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.
Before a Self Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the
first self clean cycle.
Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, and aluminum foil or any other material
from the oven.
NOTE:
It is normal for smoke to occur during self clean.
Make sure the room is well ventilated before running
a self clean cycle.

CAUTION
• The oven broil element may appear to have
cooled after it has been turned OFF. The element
may still be hot and burn may occur if this element
is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
During a self clean cycle in either the upper or lower
oven the cooktop elements can not be used.
If running a self clean in one of the ovens the other
oven can not be used.Self clean can only be
run in one oven at a time.

• If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during the
self clean cycle, they will discolor and become
difficult to slide in and out.
• Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot soapy
water. Rinse well.
• 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, replace it.
• Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.
• Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and
the oven light is off.
