How to Use the Self-Clean Feature
IMPORTANT
On double ovens, the control panel will only allow one oven
chamber to be self-cleaned at a time due to the amount of power
consumed.Also, the double oven's computer will not allow you to
cook in one oven while the other is in self-clean mode.
,
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the
convection filter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.),
the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from
the oven chamber. See page 25 for filter cleaning
instructions.
2. Clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door
outside of the door gasket. Rinse surfaces well with
a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. Heav-
ily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching
scouring pad.
3. Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of
water and mild soap.
Your Oven's
Self-Clean Feature
About the Self-Clean Cycle
• The oven will run better and produce better baked
goods when it is clean. During self-cleaning, the
oven is heated to very high temperatures which burn
off any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. Self-
cleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of
interior surfaces. The self-clean process takes about 2
to 4 hours.
CAUTION
Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket:
Rubbing or displacing it may damage the tight door sea!
required for proper cooking and se!f-cleaning:
4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors
during the Self-Clean cycle.
5. Make sure the oven door is shut.
It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the
first few self-clean cycles. It is also normal for the
oven to emit popping sounds during self-cleaning.
These sounds are caused by the expansion and con-
traction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and
cools down.
Self-Clean mode will not function if the meat probe is
connected.

8. Press the START key (located on the far left of the
control panel.)
