About the CLEAN cycle
Main ovens in RDU and RGUC models feature a self-cleaning cycle ( CLEAN ) which takes care
of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. During self-cleaning,
the oven reaches very high temperatures. This burns off and breaks down food soils and grease
deposits. All that remains is a clean oven cavity with a little gray ash which you can easily
remove.
A CLEAN cycle lasts about 5 hours. During this time, the oven door will be locked and only the
cooktop burners may be used. The secondary oven, grill, and griddle cannot be used.
A CLEAN cycle is designed to clean the oven interior and the portion of the door exposed to the
oven interior. The outer edge of the door and the oven frame will need to be cleaned manually.
During a CLEAN cycle you may see occasional, brief glowing in the oven as soiling is getting
incinerated, especially if the oven was heavily soiled. This is normal. However, if there is excessive
smoking or you see flames in the oven, cancel the cycle, wait for the oven to cool down
completely, then wipe up the excessive food soil. See 'To cancel a CLEAN cyle' for instructions.
Important!
Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners in a self-cleaning oven.
If there are cracks or flaws in the oven door glass, if the oven gasket is damaged, stiff, or worn,
or if the door does not close properly, do not start a CLEAN cycle. Call your Authorized Service
Center or Customer Care.
Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves, broiler pan, and all other bakeware and
utensils from the oven before starting a CLEAN cycle. If left in the oven, they will become
permanently discolored or damaged; items made from combustible materials (eg wood, fabric,
plastic) may even catch fire.
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.
Before starting a CLEAN cycle, wipe up any spills or grease deposits and remove any loose food
soiling. Failure to do so may discolor the oven surfaces and cause excessive smoking during the
cycle.
Before starting a CLEAN cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed and well-
ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during self-
cleaning, and may die if left in the same room as the oven during such a cycle.
Make sure the room is well ventilated during the CLEAN cycle. Turn the ventilation hood above
the range on maximum and leave it on for the duration of the cycle.
During a CLEAN cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking. Under such
conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children should be kept away.
