Self-Cleaning the Oven (s)
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. Neither the
electric griddle nor the gas grill can 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-clean-
ing. 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 posi-
tion. 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.
