Self-Cleaning the Oven
WARNING
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.
Electric 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 830°F,
that burns off the food soil.
When the oven is set for CLEAN, the cooktop burners may
be used. The griddle cannot be used when the oven is set
for CLEAN.
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 stain is directly
related to the amount of food soil left in the oven at the time
of self-cleaning. Clean the oven often.
Before Self Cleaning the Oven
Wipe out puddles of grease and any loose soil that can be
easily removed. Remove any soil that is outside the door
seal area. This appliance is designed to clean the oven
interior and that portion of the door that is inside the oven.
The outer edges of the door and the oven cavity are not in
the cleaning zone. Wipe this area clean BEFORE
SETTING THE OVEN TO SELF-CLEAN.
• Remove all utensils.
• Remove racks.
• Clean the oven front frame and outer door edges.
Wipe up large spillovers and grease.
• Be sure the light bulbs and glass covers are in
place.
• Turn on the ventilator hood above the range and
leave it on until the oven has completed the self-
clean cycle.
Important:
For the first Self-Cleaning cycle, remove small animals and
birds from the kitchen and surrounding areas. Open a
nearby window for additional ventilation.
If another clean cycle is initiated at the end of a clean cycle
and the temperature of the oven is still above 500°F, the
LED will start blinking to indicate the range has not
completely cooled down after the first cycle. The oven
cannot be used until the oven temperature drops below
500°F and the door is unlocked.
Lock
When the CLEAN cycle starts, the automatic door lock
cycle begins. Check the door to confirm that it is locked.
You can stop the clean cycle by selecting the OFF position.
The CLEANING light will turn off only after the oven has
cooled below 500°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.
To Set Self-Clean
1. Select SPEED CLEAN using the Mode Selector Knob.
2. Set Temperature Selector Knob to CLEAN.
• Cooling Blower turns on.
• OVEN ON, PREHEATING and CLEANING lights
turn on.
• When the oven reaches maximum self-clean
temperature, the PREHEATING light turns off.
Note:
The door closing process takes approximately 60 seconds
to complete, at which time the door becomes locked.
Check to make certain the door is locked.
