Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-
cleaning cycle.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: The oven shelves may be left in oven.
They will discolor and become hard to slide after
the self-clean cycle.
2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you
use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to
prevent staining.
3. Clean spatters or spills on oven front frame, and
oven door outside gasket with a dampened cloth.
Polish with a dry cloth. Do not clean gasket.
Do not allow water to run down through openings
in top of door.
Clean top, sides and outside front of oven
door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or
oven cleaners.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.
Do not let water run down through openings
in the top of the door. To help prevent water from
getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door
as far as it will go.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the
fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely
low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-
fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-
efficient oven operation and good baking results. If
you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or
damaged in any way or if it has become displaced
on the door, you should have it replaced.
4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is
off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the
bulb will be shortened or it may cause the bulb to
burn out immediately.
The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-
cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their
luster and become hard to slide.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these products plus the high
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain
finish of the oven.
Quick Reminder:
1. Latch the door.
2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to CLEAN.
OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean cycle,
you will not be able to slide the latch. Allow additional
time for cooling before you try to set the cycle.
1. Follow directions to prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Slide the latch handle to the
right as far as it will go.
Never force the latch
handle. Forcing the
handle will damage the
door lock mechanism.
3. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to CLEAN.
To reach the full cleaning temperature, the Oven
Temperature knob must be turned all the way to the
stop in the CLEAN section of the knob.
The clean light will be on.
The clean cycle time is just over 3 hours.
Quick Reminder:
1. Latch the door.
2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to CLEAN.
