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.
Turn the heating mode dial to “CLEAN”.
2.
Turn the temperature dial to “CLEAN”.
3.
Set the cleaning time (1:30 to 2:30 hours) using “+”
and “-”.
Self-Clean starts after a few seconds and the oven is
locked. The oven can be opened again only after the
oven has cooled.
To cancel Self-Clean, turn the heating mode dial to
“OFF” position.
A moist cloth is the best way to wipe remaining ash
from the oven.
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.
Cleaning Guide
Part Recommendations
Broil Pan and Grid Wash with hot soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gen-
tly rub with cleansing powder or
soap-filled pads as directed. DO
NOT clean broil pan and grid in
the self-cleaning oven.
Rotisserie Wash with soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry, or gently rub
with cleansing powder or soap-
filled pads as directed. Soak the
forks and skewer in warm soapy
water for maximum one hour.
The food soil can then be easily
removed. DO NOT clean rotis-
serie parts in the self-cleaning
oven.
Flat Rack Wash with soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry, or gently rub
with cleansing powder or soap-
filled pads as directed. DO NOT
clean the rack in the self-cleaning
oven.
If the flat racks are cleaned in the
oven during the self-clean mode,
they will loose their shiny finish
and may not glide smoothly. If
this happens, wipe the rack
edges with a small amount of
vegetable oil. Then wipe off
excess.
Telescopic Rack Wash with soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly and dry, or gently rub
with cleansing powder or soap-
filled pads as directed. Avoid get-
ting cleansing powder in the tele-
scopic slides. Re-lubrication may
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
glass cleaner. Use Fantastik® or
Formula 409® to a clean sponge
or paper towel and wipe clean.
Avoid using powder cleaning
agents, steel wool pads and
oven cleaners.
