Cleaning and Maintenance
Self-Clean
9 WARNING
WHEN USING THE SELF-CLEAN SETTING
During the elimination of soil during self-cleaning,
small amounts of Carbon Monoxide can be
created and the fiberglass insulation could give
off very small amounts of formaldehyde during
the first several cleaning cycles. To minimize
exposure to these substances, provide good
ventilation with an open window, or use a
ventilation fan or hood.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the self-
cleaning cycle. Always operate the unit according
to the instructions in this manual.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks
and will not open. If the door does not lock, do
not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
During Self-Clean, the oven is heated to a very high
temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.
9 CAUTION
AVOID RISK OF DAMAGE
Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning
the oven.
Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-
clean oven.
To set the Self-Clean mode:
1.
Press SELF CLEAN.
The Cook Time symbol and the default time appear:
2.
Press COOK TIME.
3.
Depending on the soil level, you can change the
length of the Self-Clean mode (1:30 - 2:30 hours). To
change the cleaning time to 2 hours and 15 minutes
(2:15), press 215.
4.
Press START.
Self-Clean starts.
The oven is locked during self-cleaning mode. The
I
symbol appears in the display. You will only be able to
open the door when the
I symbol disappears.
Once the oven has cooled, wipe out the remaining ash
with a wet towel.
Press PAUSE/STOP once to pause Self-Clean. Press
twice to stop Self-Clean.
Tips:
For double oven models: while Self-Clean is in
progress in one oven, the other oven must be off.
The oven light cannot be turned on during self-
cleaning.
The special heat-resistant enamel and the polished
components in the oven can become discolored over
time. This is normal and does not affect operation.
Under no circumstances should scouring pads or
abrasive cleaners be used to treat discolorations.
Avoid These Cleaners
Do not use commercial oven cleaners such as Easy
Off®. They may damage the oven finish or parts.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

tly rub with cleansing powder or
soap-filled pads as directed. DO
NOT clean broil pan and grid in
the self-cleaning oven.

If the flat racks are cleaned in the
oven during the self clean mode,

this happens, wipe the rack
edges with a small amount of
vegetable oil. Then wipe off
excess.

thoroughly and dry, or gently rub
with cleansing powder or soap-
filled pads as directed. Avoid get-
ting cleansing powder in the tele-

become necessary. Use only
high-temperature food-grade
lubricants to re-lubricate slides.
DO NOT clean the rack in the
self-cleaning oven.
Fiberglass Gasket DO NOT CLEAN GASKET.
Glass Wash with soap and water or
