WARNING - During the self-
cleaning cycle, the exterior
of the range can become
very hot to the touch. DO
NOT leave small children
unattended near the
appliance.
CAUTION - DO NOT line
the oven with aluminum foil.
This practice will destroy
heat distribution during
cleaning and cause the
aluminum foil to melt to the
oven finish creating
permanent damage to the
appliance.
CAUTION - DO NOT force
the door open. This can
damage the door lock
mechanism. Use caution
when opening the door after
stopping the self-clean cycle.
The oven is still VERY HOT.
Correct the condition which
caused the smoking and
restart the self-clean cycle.
SELF-CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Description – Self-cleaning ovens clean with high temperature (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminates soil
completely or reduces it to a fine powdered ash for easy clean up with a damp cloth.
1. Oven Preparation for Self-
Cleaning and Precautions.
• Before precleaning always allow the
oven to cool.
• Wear rubber gloves when pre-
cleaning or wiping up after the
clean cycle.
• DO NOT use commercial oven
cleaners or protective coatings in or
around any part of the self-cleaning
oven.
• DO NOT clean the oven door seal.
The woven gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or remove the seal.
2. Remove all broiler pans and
utensils. These items cannot
withstand cleaning temperatures.
3. Oven racks may be left in the
oven or removed. If they go
through the clean cycle the color
will change to a slightly blue
color.
After the cycle is complete and
the oven has cooled, rub the sides
of the racks with wax paper or a
small amount of baby oil. This
will allow the racks to slide easier
on the rack supports.
4. Remove excess spillovers from the
oven cavity prior to starting the
self-cleaning cycle. To pre-clean
use hot soapy water and a cloth.
REMOVE large spillovers as they
can cause heavy smoke or fire
when subjected to high
temperatures. Do Not allow food
spills with high acid or sugar
content (milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
fillings, etc.) to remain on the
surface as they may cause a dull
spot even after cleaning.
5. Clean any soil from the oven
frame, the door liner outside the
oven seal and the small area at the
front center of the oven bottom.
These areas do not get hot enough
to burn soil off. Clean with soap
and water.
STOPPING OR INTERRUPTING
THE SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
If it becomes necessary to stop or
interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to
excessive smoke or fire:
• OVEN TEMPERATURE BELOW
400˚ F “DOOR LOCKED”
indicator light off. Push and hold
momentary door lock switch while
moving door lock handle to the
right until it stops. Turn oven
control clockwise to off. Oven is
now ready for normal operation.
• OVEN TEMPERATURE ABOVE
400˚ F “DOOR LOCKED”
indicator light on. Turn oven control
(clockwise) to off, wait for oven to
cool. When the oven has cooled to a
point where the “DOOR LOCKED”
indicator light does not come on
when the oven control is turned
back to the clean position, the door
can be unlocked and opened. With
the oven control in the clean
position push and hold momentary
door lock switch while moving door
lock handle to the right until it
stops. Turn oven control clockwise
to off. Oven is ready for normal
operation or maintenance check.
