Using the self-cleaning oven.
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Before a Clean Cycle
The oven must be cool in order to set the self-
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 broiler pan, broiler grid,
probe, all cookware and any aluminum
foil from the oven.
The oven shelves and convection roasting
rack can be self-cleaned, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become
hard to slide.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean the top, sides and outside of the
oven door with soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover
(on some models) 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
oven. Move birds to another well
ventilated room.
On double oven models, you can
set a clean cycle in both ovens at the
same time. The last oven set will
automatically delay its start until the
end of the first oven’s clean cycle.
On double oven models, you can use
timed baking in one oven and self-
clean the other at the same time.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom. (appearance may vary)
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Press the
SELF CLEAN
pad.
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.
Press 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.
When this
LOCKED
door light is off, open
the door.
The words
LOCKED
or
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, press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad. When the
LOCKED
door light goes off indicating
the oven has cooled below the locking
temperature, open the door.
