U
sing the Self-Cleaning Cycle
The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from the toil and mess that often come with hand-
cleaning the oven interior. Like the other functions of your oven, you operate the
Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use electronic control. To use this cycle properly,
follow the step-by-step instructions in this section.

• Wipe up food spills containing sugar as
soon as possible after the oven cools
down. When sugar is heated to a high
temperature in the Self-Cleaning cycle, the
high temperature can cause the sugar to
burn and react with the porcelain. This can
cause staining and etching or pitting.
• Remove the oven racks from the oven if
you want them to remain shiny. You can
clean racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle,
but they will discolor and become harder
to slide. If you clean racks in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, place them on the
rack guides.
• Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen
well ventilated by opening a window or
by turning on a vent hood or other
kitchen vent during the cycle.
NOTES:
• Do not block the vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for
best cleaning results.
• Do not leave plastic utensils on the
cooktop. They may melt.
• Do not leave any foil in oven during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn or
melt and damage the oven surface.
• The oven lights will not work during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
wWARNING
Burn Hazard
Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns, or
illness from inhaling dangerous fumes.
Before you start
Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,
make sure you:
• Hand-clean the areas shown. They do
not get hot enough during the Self-Clean-
ing cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot
water and detergent or a soapy steel-
wool pad for cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend
the gasket. Poor cleaning, baking and
roasting may result.
• Remove the broiler pan and grid and
anything else being stored in the oven.
• Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This
will help reduce smoke during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
