For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the
oven—they cannot withstand the high
cleaning temperatures.
NOTES:
■ If your oven is equipped with nickel oven
shelves, remove them before you begin
the self-clean cycle.
■ If your oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven shelves, they may
be left in the oven during the self-clean
cycle.
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.
If your model has a door latch, never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
If your model has a latch, latch
the door.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the + or – or the number pads,
enter the desired clean time, if a time
other than 4 hours and 20 minutes is
needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours and
20 minutes. 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.
On models without a door latch, 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,
slide the latch handle to the left as far
as it will go and open the door. If your
range does not have a latch, 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 or forget to latch the door on
models with a latch.
■ 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,
unlatch the door (on models with a
latch) and open the door.
