OVEN CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle
■ Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not
affect cooking performance.
IMPORTANT:
■ Oven temperature must be below 500°F (260°C) to program
a clean cycle.
■ For double ovens only: Only 1 oven can be cleaned at a time.
■ For double ovens only: Both oven doors will lock when either
oven is running the Self-Cleaning cycle.
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.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL for the
selected oven. If the temperature is too high, the oven doors will
remain locked.
When "LOCK" shows in the display, the doors of the oven cannot
be opened. To avoid damage to the doors, do not force the doors
open when "LOCK" is displayed.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the doors are completely closed or
the doors will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.
NOTE: 12 hours must pass before the next Self-Clean can begin,
and for double ovens only: only one oven can use the Self-Clean
cycle at a time
The oven is preset for a 4-hour clean cycle; however, the time can
be changed. Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil and
between 4 hours and 5 hours for average to heavy soil.
