Before a 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 shelves, broiler pan,
broiler grid, all cookware and any
aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
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® . Rinse well with clean
water and dry.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Press the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the INCREASE or DECREASE
pads, enter the desired clean time,
if a time other than 4 hours is
needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours.
You can change the clean time to any
time between 3 hours and 5 hours,
depending on how dirty your oven is.
Press the START pad.
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.
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.
The door locks automatically. The
display will show the clean time
remaining. It will not be possible to
open the oven door until the
temperature drops below the lock
temperature and the LOCKED DOOR
light goes off.
The oven shuts off automatically when
the clean cycle is complete.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off,
open the door.
The words LOCK DOOR will flash and
the oven control will signal if you set
the clean cycle and forget to close
the oven door.
To stop a clean cycle, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED
DOOR light goes off indicating the
oven has cooled below the locking
temperature, open the door.
