Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours
Before a Clean Cycle
Quick Reminder:
1. Prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Close and latch the oven door.
3. Press the CLEAN pad.
4. Press the INCREASE pad.
If you wish to change the preset Clean Time of 4
hours, press the
lNCREASE
or DECREASE pad
until the desired Stop
Time
appears
in
the display.
We recommend
venting
with an
open
window
or using a ventilation
fin
or hood during the first
self-clean 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 cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven.
However, they will darken, lose
their luster and become hard to slide.
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 the oven front frame, and
the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened
cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door outside
the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle.
On these areas use detergent and hot water or a
soap-
filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and
water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue
from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these
areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.
Clean the top, sides and outside front of the 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 rub or clean the door
gasket—
the fiberglass material of the
gasket
has an
extremel~
low resistance to
a~rasion.
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 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 burn out immediately.
CAUTION: The grates and drip pans (on
some models) should never be cleaned in the
self-cleaning oven.
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.
