Notes:
If the oven door is left open, “DOOR” will flash in the
display and a signal will beep until the door is closed
and the Clean pad is pressed again.
If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the
Clean pad and the More+ or Less- pad, the program will
automatically return to the previous display.
The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is
forced to open when “LOCK” is still displayed.
Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove
it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means
the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be re-
moved during the next clean cycle.
If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to
move.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not
affect performance.
A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean
cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect
performance.
CAUTION

Broiler Pan and Insert
Never cover insert with aluminum foil as this prevents the
fat from draining to the pan below.
Place soapy cloth over insert and pan; let soak to loosen soil.
Wash in warm soapy water. Use scouring pad to remove
stubborn soil.
Broiler pan and insert can be cleaned in dishwasher.
Sealed Gas Burners
Clean frequently. Allow burner to cool. Clean with soap and
plastic scouring pad. For stubborn soils, use a non-abrasive
cleaner and a cloth. Try to prevent the cleaner from seeping
into the gas ports as this will affect the flame. If the cleaner
does enter the ports, clean with a soft bristle brush or a
straight pin especially the port below the ignitor. Do not
enlarge or distort holes.
Be careful not to get water into burner ports.
Use care when cleaning the ignitor. If the ignitor is wet or
damaged the surface burner will not light.
Burner Grates
Wash grates with warm, soapy water and a nonabrasive,
plastic scrubbing pad. For stubborn soils, clean with a
soap-filled, nonabrasive pad or a sponge and Cooktop
Cleaning Creme (Part #20000001).**
For burned on soils, remove grates, place on newspapers
and carefully spray with commercial oven cleaner. (Do not
spray surrounding surfaces.) Place in plastic bags for
several hours or overnight. Wearing rubber gloves, remove
from bags. Wash, rinse, dry and replace on cooktop.
Clock and Control Pad Area
To activate “Control Lock” for cleaning, see page 14.
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaning agents as they may scratch the finish.
Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a cloth first.
DO NOT spray directly on control pad and display area.
Control Knobs
Remove knobs in the OFF position by pulling forward.
Wash, rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as
they may scratch the finish.
Turn on each burner to be sure the knobs have been
correctly replaced.
Cooktop and Control Panel - Porcelain Enamel
Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal and may crack or chip
with misuse. It is acid resistant, not acid proof. All spillovers,
especially acidic or sugary spillovers, should be wiped up imme-
diately with a dry cloth.
When cool, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Never wipe off a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth. This
may cause cracking or chipping.
Never use oven cleaners, abrasive or caustic cleaning
agents on exterior finish of range.
Side Panels, Storage Drawer, Lower Broiler Door (select
models) and Door Handles - Painted Enamel
When cool, wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.
Never wipe a warm or hot surface with a damp cloth as this
may damage the surface and may cause a steam burn.
For stubborn soil, use mildly abrasive cleaning agents such
as baking soda paste or Bon Ami*. Do not use abrasive
cleaners such as steel wool pads or oven cleaners. These
products will scratch or permanently damage the surface.
Important: Use a dry towel or cloth to wipe up spills,
especially acidic or sugary spills. Surface may discolor or
dull if soil is not immediately removed. This is especially
important for white surfaces.
Oven Window and Door - Glass
Avoid using excessive amounts of water which may seep
under or behind glass, causing staining. Wash with soap and
water. Rinse with clear water and dry. Glass cleaner can be
used if sprayed on a cloth first.
Do not use abrasive materials such as scouring pads, steel
wool or powdered cleaners as they will scratch glass.
