Questions and Answers
Q. Why won't my oven start
cleaning even though I've set all
the controls correctly?
A. Check to be sure the display
shows the correct time of day. Also
check to be sure the oven latch is
closed securely and you have
touched the START pad.
Q. If the display does not show
the time of day, can I still self-
clean my oven?
A. No. You must set your clock.
Time of day must be showing in the
display because the clock starts and
stops the self-cleaning cycle.
Q. Why can't I latch the oven
door to start the self-clean cycle
even though I've touched the
CLEAN pad?
A. The electronic control will not
let you set up the clean cycle when
the oven is hotter than 500"F. Let
the oven cool and try again.
Q. What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A. Excessive grease is the cause.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Open
windows and doors to rid the room
of smoke. Let the oven cool for at
least one hour before opening the
door. Unlatch door, wipe up excess
grease and reset the cleaning cycle.
Q. Is the "crackling" sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. Metal heating and cooling
during cooking and cleaning
functions makes this sound.
Q. What causes the hair-like
lines on the enameled surface of
my oven?
A. Heating and cooling during
cleaning. It's common. The hair-
like lines don't affect your oven's
performance.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning?
A. Some types of soil leave a
deposit of ash. You can remove it
with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What's the matter?
A. After cleaning, oven shelves
may be so clean that they will not
slide easily. They will again if you
dampen your fingertips with a little
cooking oil and rub lightly over the
sides of the shelf.
Q. My oven shelves became gray
after the self-clean cycle. Is this
normal?
A. Yes. And after the self-clean
cycle, they'll lose their luster and
change to a deeper gray color.
Q. Can I stop an oven cleaning
cycle after cleaning has begun?
A. Yes, but you won't be able
to open the door until the oven
cools to a safe temperature. Touch
CLEAR/OFF pad to cancel the
cleaning cycle. When Door Locked
indicator light goes out, unlatch
the door.
Q. If the inside of my oven door
is soiled, will it be cleaned during
the cleaning cycle?
A. Yes. The raised section of the
oven door inside the gasket will be
cleaned automatically. The area
outside the oven gasket must be
cleaned by hand as described in the
Cleaning Guide on page 24.
Q. Why would I want to set my
oven to start cleaning at a later
time of day?
A. Some utility companies offer
lower rates at times when electrical
consumption is lowest. Since these
times often occur late at night, you
can set your oven before going to bed
so cleaning is done while you sleep.
Q. After interrupting the self-
cleaning cycle in the middle, I let
the oven cool but still cannot set
the self-clean cycle again. Why?
A. You must unlatch the door, touch
the CLEAN pad, latch the door and
touch the START pad before the
self-clean cycle starts again.
