Clean

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself using high temperatures
that are well above normal cooking temperatures. The
clean feature, if used properly, will eliminate soils from the
oven completely or reduce them to a fine powdered ash.
Once the oven has cooled, simply wipe away the ash using
a damp cloth.
The clean feature also provides optional cleaning duration
choices. A 3-hour cleaning time for normal cleaning or a 2-
hour clean for lighter soils.
WARNING
• Do not touch the oven during the self-clean cycle.
• Keep children away from oven during self-clean cycle.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
CAUTION
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.

clean

(For models that have a visible bottom bake element ONLY)
The lower element may be tilted up from the front of the
element to make access to spills easier. Wait until the oven
is completely cool and remove the bottom oven rack before
attempting to raise the element. Do not to raise the lower
element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
Read before starting clean
• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop,
including food, cookware, utensils, plastic and any
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high
temperatures generated during a self-clean cycle.
• Remove all oven racks and any accessories from
the oven to avoid possible heat damage. If the oven
racks are not removed they may discolor. The
Effortless™ Oven Rack (some models) must be
removed before starting self-clean to avoid damaging
the glide ability of the rack.
• Be sure the oven vent area is clear.
• Remove all items from the lower storage drawer
(some models) or warming drawer (some models).
• Be sure the oven light shield is in place. Turn off the
oven light.
• Remove any excessive spillovers. Spills on the
oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before
starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water
and a cloth. Large food spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or a fire during self-clean.
• Remove any food spills from oven that have a high
sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) before starting a
self-clean cycle. If they are not removed they may
leave a dull spot even after self-cleaning.
do not
• Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door
clean
liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area
at the front center of the oven bottom. Clean using
soap and water before starting self-clean. These areas
(See Fig. 1) heat sufficiently to burn soil on.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).
Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door
gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the 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 commercial oven cleaners or protective
coatings of any kind inside oven. Residue from oven
cleaners may damage the porcelain during the next
self-clean cycle.
