Cleaning The Oven - Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Self Clean .
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and
should be wiped up immediately . Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse .
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners (unless certified for self-
cleaning oven), abrasive cleaners, strong liquid
cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven . Clean with a mild
Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode .
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior . You will need to lock the oven door when using
this feature . Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe
up grease and soils from the oven . Remove all items from
the oven other than enameled (dark color) racks . Shiny or
silver racks and any cookware or other items should all be
removed from the oven before initiating a self-clean cycle .
Close the door . Latch the door .
NOTE: Never force the latch . If the oven is too hot, you
will not be able to slide the latch . Allow the oven to cool .
If your range has a knob turn knob to self clean position
or if your range has an oven control press the Self Clean
pad and a default self-clean time is displayed . The clean
time can be changed to any time between 3:00 and 5:00
hours by using the +/- pads to enter a different time and
pressing Start . For heavily soiled ovens, the maximum
5 hour clean time is recommended . If you wish to use
the default time, press the Start pad immediately after
pressing the Self Clean pad . The oven will turn off
automatically when the self-clean cycle is complete and
the self-clean light will be off . Slide the latch handle to the
left as far is it will go and open the door . Never force the
latch handle . Forcing the handle will damage the door lock
mechanism . After the oven has cooled down wipe any ash
out of the oven .
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle .
Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water .
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element . Any
soil will burn off when the elements are heated .
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake element .
Clean the oven floor with warm, soapy water .

soap and water or vinegar and water solution . Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth . When cleaning
surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature .
Soil 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
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, replace it .
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off .
IMPORTANT: 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 .
To Stop a Self-Clean Cycle
Press Cancel/Off and wait for self clean light to go
off . Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking
temperature to unlatch the door . You will not be able to
open the door right away unless the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature .
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean . Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges .
