A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures
(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate
soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
The Self Clean function allows you to set any amount of
cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning
time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light
soils and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.
Read before starting Self Clean
Be sure to read all the following caution and important
statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:
DO NOT leave small children
unattended near the appliance. During the self-cleaning
cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to
touch and can cause burns or serious injury.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks,
bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum
foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor
baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven
interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated
room.The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This
can damage the automatic door locking system.
Use caution when opening the oven door
after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and
can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side
of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or
steam to escape.
To prepare for Self Clean:
Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY
ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid
damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not
removed they may discolor.
Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop
including cookware, utensils and ANY ALUMINUM
FOIL. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures
from a self-clean cycle and will melt.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the
front center of the oven bottom (See Fig. 1). These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap
and water prior to starting Self Clean (See Fig. 1).
Oven light will not work during a Self Clean cycle.
Self Clean

Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven
bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting
a self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a
cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire
when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow
food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as
milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to
remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot
even after cleaning.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). The
woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
remove the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning
materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could
cause damage to the door gasket.
