How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN STD/LO pad
once for a 4-hour clean time or
twice for a 3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills.
A self-clean time of 4 hours or
longer is recommended for
a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 4 hours or
3 hours is needed, use the number
pads and enter the desired
clean time.
You can change the clean time to any
time between 2
1
⁄2 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 light
goes off.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will
be able to open the door.
■ The word LOCKED will flash and the
word door will display 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 light
goes off indicating the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature, you
will be able to open the door.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your kitchen
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.
Remove the convection roasting rack,
broiler pan, broiler grid, probe,
all cookware and any aluminum foil
from the oven.
NOTE:
■ If your oven is equipped with shiny,
silver-colored oven racks, remove them
before you begin the self-clean cycle.
■ If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks, they
may be left in the oven during the
self-clean cycle.
The shiny, silver-colored oven racks
(on some models) and the convection
roasting rack 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 steel-wool 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.
