move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during high temp self-cleaning 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 is normal
and 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 High Temp Self-Cleaning Cycle uses very high temperatures,
burning soil to a powdery ash.
The oven is preset for a 4 hour 30 minute clean cycle; however,
the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 3 hours
30 minutes for light soil and between 4 hours 30 minutes and
5 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired
cleaning level.
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 High Temp Self-Cleaning
cycle.
On double oven models, only one oven can self-clean at a time. If
one oven is high temp self-cleaning, the other oven cannot be set
or turned on.
NOTE: The oven has a 2 speed cooling fan motor. During self-
clean the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase
airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s).
An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after the self-
clean cycle until the oven cools.
To Start High-Temp Self-Cleaning:
Before high temp self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed
completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.
The cavity symbol will indicate which oven was chosen.
2. Touch SELF CLEAN. Touch SELF CLEAN repeatedly to set a
clean time other than 4 hours and 30 minutes. The clean time
can be set between 3 hours and 30 minutes and 5 hours and
30 minutes.
Number keys cannot be used to set a clean time.
3. Touch START.
The oven will start locking the door and display “Locking
Door.” Opening the door at this point will cancel the self-
clean cycle. “Door Locked” will display once the door is
locked. Then, the start time and stop time will appear in the
oven display.
When the cycle is complete and the oven is cool, “self clean
complete” will appear on the oven display and “DOOR
LOCKED” will disappear. The door will not unlock until the
oven is cool.
If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder
tones will sound every minute.
4. Touch CANCEL for the selected oven, or open and close the
oven door to clear the oven display and/or stop reminder
tones.
To Delay the Start of High Temp Self-Cleaning:
Before starting a delayed High Temp Self-Clean cycle, make sure
the clock is set to the correct time of day. See “Clock” section.
Also, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock
and the cycle will not begin.
1. On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN.
The cavity symbol will indicate which oven was chosen.
2. Touch SELF CLEAN. Touch SELF CLEAN repeatedly to set a
clean time other than 4 hours and 30 minutes. The clean time
can be set between 3 hours and 30 minutes and 5 hours and
30 minutes.
Number keys cannot be used to set clean time.
3. Touch STOP TIME.
4. Touch the number keys to enter the time of day to stop.
5. Touch START.
The start time and stop time is automatically calculated and
displayed.
The door will not lock until the start time is reached.
When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically
turn on. The oven will start locking the door and will display
“Locking Door.” Opening the door at this point will cancel the
self-clean cycle. “Door Locked” will display once the door is
locked.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “self clean
complete” will appear on the oven display and “DOOR
LOCKED” will disappear. The door will not unlock until the
oven is cool.
6. Touch CANCEL for the selected oven, or open and close the
oven door to clear the oven display.
To Stop High Temp Self-Cleaning anytime:
Touch CANCEL, UPPER CANCEL or LOWER CANCEL. If the
oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will
not unlock until the oven cools.
