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.
REMOVE ALL OVEN RACKS and parts
before starting a self-clean cycle. If the oven racks are
left in the oven during the self-clean cycle, the glide ability
of the gliding racks will be damaged and will cause all oven
racks to loose their shiny finish and or turn blue. Remove
all oven racks and clean according to instructions provided
in the Care & Cleaning section of this manual.
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.
Self Clean
Fig. 1
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.
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.
