During the Self-Cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can
become very hot to the touch. DO NOT
leave small children unattended near the
appliance.
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.
DO NOT line the oven
walls, racks, bottom or any other part of
the range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven).
DO NOT force the oven
door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after the
Self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The
oven may still be VERY HOT.
Self-Cleaning Oven
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils
completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
NOTES: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed. See additional cleaning information for the oven door
in the General Care & Cleaning section.
Self-Cleaning
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any
part of the Self-Cleaning oven.
DO NOT clean the oven 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 any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so
could cause damage.
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
Remove oven racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under
Before Setting Oven Controls. If they are not removed during the Self-Clean
cycle their color will turn slightly blue & the finish will be dull. After the
cycle is complete & the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks
with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will
make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.
IMPORTANT NOTES when using the Self-Clean feature:
1. The Self-Clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface remains ON.
2. A Self-Clean cycle cannot be started if Oven Lockout feature is active.
3. If a Self-Cleaning-Cycle has started but not finished and a power failure occurs, the appliance may not have thoroughly
cleaned. Once power is restored, set for another Self-Clean cycle to finish.
4. If your clock is set for normal 12 hour display mode the Delay Self-Clean cycle can never be set to start more than 12
hours in advance. To set for Delay Flex-Clean 12-24 hours in advance see page 16 for instructions to set the control for the
24 hour time of day display mode.
