OVEN CARE
CustomClean™ Self-Cleaning with Adjustable Levels and Auto Lock
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off during the Self-Clean cycle. Exposure to the
fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to
another closed and well-ventilated room.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Clean cycle to
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Clean cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see
“Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The
door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Prepare Oven:
■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and,
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
■ Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
■ Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
■ Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during self-clean to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner,
etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this
area.
■ Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not
affect cooking performance.
How the Cycle Works:
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
The CustomClean™ Self Cleaning cycle uses very high
temperatures to clean, burning residue to a powdery ash.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp
cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
The oven lights will not work during the Self-Clean cycle.
On double oven models, only one oven can self-clean at a time. If
one oven is self-cleaning, the other oven cannot be set or turned
on.
NOTE: During self-clean the cooling fan motor(s) will operate at
its highest speed to increase airflow to better exhaust the air
through the oven vent(s). An increase of noise may be noticeable
during and after the self-clean cycle until the oven cools.
To Self-Clean:
1. From the Modes or Setup menus, touch the SELF-CLEAN
button.
2. If accessing Self Clean using the Setup Menu on double
ovens, select the oven you want to clean: Upper or Lower,
then touch NEXT.
3. Two messages appear on the screen:
■ Remove all oven racks and pans from the oven. Racks
could discolor and not slide easily after a Self Clean
cycle.
■ Clean oven frame and door frame with a nonabrasive
cleaning agent because they are not exposed to cleaning
temperatures. Do not clean gasket.
4. Touch NEXT.
5. Select the cleaning level by pressing the buttons:
Light (2 hours), Medium (3 hours) or Heavy (4 hours).
NOTE: The oven will cool for an additional hour after cleaning
is completed.
6. To set a delayed start, touch DELAY START. See “Delay Start”
section for additional information.
7. Touch START. The door(s) will lock.
To Stop Self-Clean anytime:
Touch CANCEL OVEN (CANCEL UPPER or CANCEL LOWER on
double oven models). If the oven temperature is too high, the
door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
WARNING
