The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the shelves, any broiler pan,
broiler grid, probe, all cookware and
any aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
Soil on the front frame of the range and
outside the gasket on the door will need
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water, soap-filled scouring pads or
cleansers such as Soft Scrub
®
. Rinse well
with clean water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cannot
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is
in place and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: 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.
NOTE: Use caution when opening the upper
oven after the self-clean cycle has ended.
The oven may still be hot.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Upper Oven for Cleaning
NOTE: The surface burners must be turned off
prior to the self-clean start time.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
NOTE: If the display shows LOC, touch
and hold the GAS/CONTROL LOCKOUT
pad for 3 seconds to turn it off. See the
Gas/Control Lockout section.
Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other than
4 hours is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You can
change the clean time to any time between
3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty
your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door until
the temperature drops below the lock
temperature and the LOCKED DOOR
light goes off.
The oven shuts off automatically when the
clean cycle is complete.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, the
door will unlock automatically.
The words LOCK DOOR will flash and the
oven control will signal if you set the clean
cycle and forget to close the oven door.
To stop a clean cycle, touch the CLEAR/OFF
pad. When the LOCKED DOOR light goes
off indicating the oven has cooled below
the locking temperature, you may open
the door.
Do not use the lower oven drawer during
a self-clean cycle.
