LARGE GAS MAIN OVEN
The self-cleaning mode of your new range features
pyrolytic self-cleaning. When set to the CLEAN
mode, the oven reaches a high temperature,
approximately 830ºF, that burns off the food soil.
When the oven is set for CLEAN, only the cooktop
burners may be used. The 12-inch oven (Model
PGR48 only), the griddle and/or the grill cannot be
used.
It is common to see smoke and/or flames during the
CLEAN cycle, depending on the content and amount
of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn
off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the
door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
At the end of the CLEAN cycle, some gray ash or
burned residue may remain inside the oven. This is
a mineral deposit that does not burn or melt. The
amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled the
oven was before it was cleaned. It is easily removed,
when the oven is cold, using a damp paper towel,
sponge, or cloth.
Wipe off any smoke residue that remains on the front
frame with Formula 409
®
or Fantastik
®
. If stain remains,
use a mild liquid cleanser. The amount of smoke

When the CLEAN cycle starts, the LOCK light turns
on, and the automatic door lock cycle begins. The
temperature gauge begins to move to CLEAN five
minutes after the clean mode is initiated. Check the
door when the LOCK light comes on to confirm that
it is locked. You can stop the clean cycle by selecting
the OFF position. The lock light will turn off only after
the oven has cooled below 550˚F, and the automatic
door lock has completed its cycle to the open
position.
Make certain that the oven door is locked at the
beginning of the self-cleaning cycle.
