During self-clean, the oven uses a very high
temperature to burn away food soil and grease.
• As a safety feature, the oven door locks during
self-clean to protect from very high temperatures.
Do not try to open the oven during self-clean
mode.
• Only one oven can be self-cleaned at a time. The
second oven can be used while the other is self-
cleaning.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional
fl ame-up during the self-clean mode, depending
on the content and amount of soil remaining in
the oven. If a fl ame persists, turn off the oven and
allow it to cool before opening the door to wipe up
the excessive food soil.
•
The oven light does not operate when the oven is
in the self-clean mode.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners as they may
damage fi nish or parts.
• Heat and odors are normal during the self-clean
cycle. Keep the kitchen well ventilated.
Self-Cleaning
Before You Self-Clean
1. Hand clean the oven door edge, window, oven
front frame and oven cavity edges (see fi gures
below). They do not get hot enough during the
cleaning cycle for soil to burn away. Use a soapy
sponge, plastic scrubber or S.O.S.
®
pad.
DO NOT
RUB THE GASKET.
2 . Wipe up large overspills and grease with paper
towels.
3. Remove broiler pan, all utensils and bakeware.
4.
Remove oven racks.
If the oven racks are left in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle, they will lose
their shiny fi nish and will not glide smoothly in the
rack guides. See “Cleaning Oven Surfaces, page 15
for proper care
.
5. Be sure the light is turned off on the control panel
and the bulb and glass cover are in place.
After Self-Clean
• The self-clean mode may produce ash which will
settle in the oven. If this happens, remove ash with
a damp cloth before using the oven.
• Wipe rack edges with cooking oil to allow for
proper glide. Wipe off excess.
Hand clean 1-1/2” from rack
support to front of oven cavity
Hand clean door and frame
DO NOT
hand clean gasket
Hand clean front frame
IMPORTANT: Be sure to
let the inside window
glass in the oven door cool
completely before wiping up
any ash left from the clean
cycle.
NOTE:
Due to the high temperatures used for
self-cleaning, fi ne lines or surface roughness may
develop in oven cavity. This is a common condition
and does not affect either the cooking or the
cleaning performance of the oven.
