OVEN CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models)
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the
fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to
another closed and well-ventilated room.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven
Vent” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket.
Oven temperature must be below 400°F (205°C) to program a
clean cycle.
Prepare Oven
Remove the broiler pan, grid, bakeware, all cooking utensils,
oven racks and aluminum foil and, on some models, the
temperature probe from the oven.
Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the
1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being
certain not to move or bend the gasket.
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 Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
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.
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL. If the
temperature is too high the oven door will remain locked and “cool”
and “locked” will be displayed.
When “LOCK” shows in the display, the door cannot be opened. To
avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when
“LOCK” is displayed.
The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.
Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Self-Clean
(HI - LO)
The self-cleaning cycle can be set at HI self-clean time (4 hours
30 minutes) or LO self-clean time (3 hours 30 minutes). The
suggested clean times are 3 hours 30 minutes for light soil, or
4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the cycles
is for cool down.
To Self-Clean:
1. Close the oven door.
2. Move the door lock lever to the right to the locked position.
3. Press SELF CLEAN to set the clean time to HI (4 hours
30 minutes).
4. Press the TEMP/TIME “+” or “-” arrow pads to cycle between
LO and HI clean time.
5. Press START.
The CLEAN indicator light will be displayed. The time remaining
will also be displayed.
6. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the
CLEAN indicator light will turn off. The door can then be
opened by releasing the door lock.
7. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth.
