How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
The oven is preset for a 2 hour 30 minute clean cycle, however
the time can be changed. There are five levels of clean.
Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and
between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes for average to
heavy soil. Use the following chart as a guide to determine the
desired cleaning level.
CLEANING LEVEL TOTAL CLEANING TIME
(includes a 30 minute cool down time)
1 (Quick) 2 hours 30 minutes
2 3 hours
3 (Regular) 3 hours 30 minutes
4 4 hours
5 (Maxi) 4 hours 30 minutes
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in
the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. Press SELF CLEAN. To set a clean time other than 2 hours
30 minutes, enter the time using the number pads or press
SELF CLEAN until the desired time is reached. The clean time
can be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours
30 minutes.
2. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock and "DOOR LOCKED"
or "LOCKED," the start time and stop time will appear on the
oven display. On some models, the clean time will appear on
the oven display.

When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, "End" will
appear on the oven display and "DOOR LOCKED" or
"LOCKED" will disappear from the display.
3. Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven
display.

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions
on cleaning products. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are
suggested first unless otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES

Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills
may affect the finish.
Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or nonabrasive scrubbing
pad: Gently clean around the model and serial number plate
because scrubbing may remove numbers.
