Self-cleaning
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which
eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
imPortant
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven
material of the oven door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or remove the gasket.
• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage.
• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and anY aluminum Foil. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures and will melt.
• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and
ANY ACCESSORIES. If the oven racks are not
removed, they will lose their special coating
properties and will no longer slide in and out
of the oven cavity effortlessly.
• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven
cavity before starting the Self-Cleaning cycle. To
clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when
subjected to high temperatures. do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot
even after cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at
the front center of the oven bottom. These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

What to Expect during Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures
much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds
of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is
also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may
appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they
may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This
is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available,
use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

caution
To avoid possible burns use care when opening the
oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the
side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air
or steam to escape.
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of the range
can become very hot to the touch. do not leave
small children unattended near the appliance.
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.
do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing
so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking
results and cause permanent damage to the oven
interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface
of the oven).
do not force the oven door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle is
completed. The oven may still be vERY HOT.
note
See additional cleaning information for the oven door in
the General Care & Cleaning section.
