OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first
self-clean cycle.
1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot
withstand the high cleaning temperatures.
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before
you begin the self-clean cycle.
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
extremely low resistance to abrasion. 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.
Quick Reminder:
1. Prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Close and latch the oven door.
3. Press the AUTO CLEAN or AUTO SELF
CLEAN pad.
4. Press the + pad.
If you wish to change the preset Clean Time of
3 hours, press the + or – pad until the desired
Stop Time appears in the display.
