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
well with clean water and dry.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Latch the door.
Touch 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.
Touch the START pad.
The display will show the clean time
remaining. It will not be possible to
unlatch the oven door until the
temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the LOCKED
door light goes off.
When the LOCKED door light is off,
unlatch the door.
The oven shuts off automatically when
the clean cycle is complete.
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.
® . Rinse
The words LOCKED or LOCK DOOR will
flash and the oven control will signal if
you set the clean cycle and forget to
latch the oven door.
To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED
door light goes off indicating the
oven has cooled below the locking
temperature, unlatch the door.
