What happens during the self-clean cycle
• When this procedure for self-cleaning
has been followed, the
"Clean" and "Oven" lights will light indicating that the heating
elements are in operation and the oven is in "Clean". For delayed
start, indicator lights will turn on when calculated start time is
reached. As the temperature increases, the door will automatically
lock and the lock lever will not be able to be moved. This is a safety
measure which prevents the oven door from being opened under
high temperature conditions.
• Both the upper and lower oven elements are on during cleaning.
• The temperature will continue to rise to about 900°F where it will
stay for the remainder of the cleaning time. (Note: The first few
times the self-cleaning system is used, there may be minor smoking
and a slight odor as the oven insulation "cures." This will disappear
after the first few cleaning cycles.)
• The vapor and smoke generated during the self-cleaning cycle is
catalytically cleaned before being discharged into the room.
• The oven vent exhausts vapor and warm air during self-cleaning
cycle. It should always be left unobstructed.
• You may notice some wisps of smoke from around the door or oven
vent at the beginning of the cleaning cycle.
The "Oven"
light will turn off as soon as the self-cleaning time has
elapsed (indicating that the oven elements are no longer on).
To interrupt
self-cleaning
cycle:
(while "Clean"
light is on)
1. Push self-clean button once. Display will return to the time of day
after a few seconds. Or push self-clean button while turning set
time knob to "0:00".
Display will return to time of day after a few
seconds.
2. Allow oven to cool before attempting to open door.
3. Turn thermostat
dial to "OFF".
4. Turn selector
dial to "OFF".
After self-cleaning
cycle:
1. Approximately one hour after self-cleaning, the oven temperature
will fall to about broiling temperature and the door latch can be
moved to the left to open the door, If the Door Lock Lever does not
move, allow an additional 10 minutes cooling time.
2. Turn selector dial to "OFF".
3. Leave door ajar to finish cooling oven.
4. Remove any ash from bottom of oven with a damp paper towel. If
small, dark burned-on spots remain inside the door or oven they
may require some manual cleaning.
If there are white spots in the interior of the oven, they should be
removed with a non-scratching, scouring pad before the oven is
used again. These spots are a salt residue which cannot be
removed during the self-clean cycle.
5. Remove any baked-on soil from around oven door and oven frame
with damp cloth and cleanser.
Remember:
Oven door cannot be unlocked while clean light is on.

CARE AND CLEANING OF OTHER PARTS
Wash all surfaces frequently with detergent and hot water to minimize overall cleaning. To preserve the original appearance, rinse and
wipe the surfaces dry after washing.
Several different materials have been used in the construction of your oven. Each material is well-suited to its specific purpose, but care
and cleaning of these materials differ. Some materials are harmed by cleaning agents that work well on others.
