Self-Cleaning Cycle

WARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from the oven during Self-Cleaning
cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds
to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see the
"Oven Vent" or "Oven Vents" section in the Quick Start Guide.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
Prepare Range
� Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all
cooking utensils, oven racks, and aluminum foil and, on some
models, the temperature probe from the oven.
� Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the
"(3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being
1 1 /
2
certain not to move or bend the gasket.
� Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may
melt.
� Remove all items from the storage drawer.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool, damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press OFF/CANCEL
or the Cancel keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door
will remain locked and "cool" and "locked/ " will be displayed.
The cooling fan may continue to run.
The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On some models: Once the cleaning temperature has been
reached, the electronic control requires a 12 hour delay before
another Self-Cleaning cycle can be started.
