WARNING
• During the self-clean cycle, exterior surfaces may
become hotter than usual. Parts of the appliance may
become potentially harmful to children, and to
persons who lack adult knowledge of appliances and
lack adult reactions to potentially harmful conditions.
Keep these individuals away during self-clean and
while the appliance is in use. Care is needed when
using other functions.
• The elimination of soil during self-cleaning may
facilitate the emission of small amounts of chemicals
or other substances that may be harmful upon
sufficient exposure. To minimize exposure to these
substances, provide good ventilation with an open
window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.
• For the self-cleaning cycle of your range, remove small
animals and birds from the kitchen and surrounding
areas. Open a nearby window for additional
ventilation. During self-clean, fumes are released that
may be harmful.
About self-clean
• The self-cleaning mode of your new range features
pyrolytic self-cleaning. When set to the self clean
mode, the oven reaches a high temperature,
approximately 850°F (454°C), that burns off the food
soil.
• When the oven is set for self clean, the standard
cooktop burners and the electric griddle may be used.

• At the end of the clean cycle, some gray ash or
burned residue may remain inside the oven. This is a
mineral deposit that does not burn or melt. The
amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled the
oven was before it was cleaned. When the oven is
cold, it is easily removed using a damp paper towel,
sponge, or cloth.
• To reduce flare ups and excess smoke wipe out
puddles of grease and any loose soil that can be easily
removed. Remove any soil that is outside the door
seal area. This appliance is designed to clean the oven
interior and the portion of the door that is inside the
oven. The outer edges of the door and the frame
surrounding the front of the oven are not in the
cleaning zone. Wipe this area clean.
Before setting the oven to self-clean
• Remove all utensils.
• Remove racks and rack guides.
• Clean the oven front frame and outer door edges.
• Wipe up large spillovers and grease.
• Be sure the light bulbs and glass covers are in place.
