Using the self-cleaning oven.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven
cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel-wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.
NOTES:
■ You cannot set the oven for cooking until
the oven is cool enough for the door to
unlock.
■ While the oven is self-cleaning, you
can touch the
CLOCK
pad to display
the time of day. To return to the
clean countdown, touch the
COOKING
TIME
pad.
■ If you have left the shelves in the oven
during the self-clean cycle and they
become hard to slide, apply a small
amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to
a paper towel and wipe the edges of the
oven shelves with the paper towel.
Questions and Answers
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the
correct time of day, can I still
self-clean my oven?
A. If the clock is not set to the correct
time of day you will not be able to set a
delay-clean cycle to end at a specific
time.
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners
on any part of my self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should be
used around any part of this oven.
If you do use them and do not
thoroughly rinse the oven with water,
wiping it absolutely clean afterwards,
the residue can scar the oven surface
and damage metal parts the next time
the oven is automatically cleaned.
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking
occurs during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn
the oven off. Open the windows to rid
the room of smoke. Wait until the
oven has cooled and the words
“LOCKED DOOR” are off in the
display. Wipe up the excess soil and
reset the clean cycle.
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound
I hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal
heating and cooling during both the
cooking and cleaning functions.
Q. Should there be any odor during the
cleaning?
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the
first few cleanings. Failure to wipe out
excessive soil might also cause a
strong odor when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the
enameled surface of my oven?
A. This is a normal condition, resulting
from heating and cooling during
cleaning. These lines do not affect
how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven
after cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit
which is ash. It can be removed with a
damp sponge or cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.
What is the matter?
A. If you have left the oven shelves in
the oven during many cleanings, the
shelves will lose their luster and
become hard to slide. To make
shelves slide more easily wipe the shelf
supports with cooking oil.
Q. I have left my oven shelves in the oven
during the self-clean cycle and they
have become gray. Is this normal?
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the
shelves will lose some luster and
discolor to a deep gray color.
