Self-Clean Cycle
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During
this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off
soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors
associated with the soil burn off. A powder ash residue is left in the
bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door
latch is automatically activated after selecting the self-clean setting.
The latch ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven
interior is at clean temperatures.
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven.
The high heat generated during the cleaning cycle can discolor,
warp, and damage these items. DO NOT use foil or liners in the
oven. During the self-clean cycle, foil can burn or melt and damage
the oven surface.
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER
use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on raised portions
of the door.
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle
begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very difficult to
clean if not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the
door frame, and up to 2” (5.1 cm) inside the frame with detergent
and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
CAUTION
WARNING
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are “OFF” and oven is COOL before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning
cycle has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may
be some odor and smoking from the curing of the binder in the high-
density insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly
cured, this odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning
cycles, you may sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures.
Keep the kitchen well-vented during the self-cleaning cycle.
Self-Clean Cycle
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
2. Select “UPPER OVEN” or “LOWER
OVEN.” “SELECT MODE” will appear
in the display for the selected oven.
3. Press “SELF CLEAN” from the oven
function control panel.
4. Press “SET” or “ENTER.” At this time,
“SELF CLEAN” will appear in the
display. The door lock indicator light
will remain on until the self-clean is completed or interrupted and
the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature. A complete
cycle takes approximately 3-1/2 hours, with an additional 30
minutes needed for the oven to cool down enough for the door
latch to disengage.
Note: A whirring fan noise will be heard during the self-clean cycle and
will continue to run for the 3-1/2 hour duration of the self-clean cycle.
5. The timer will count down from 4 hours. When the cycle is
completed, press the “OFF” button for the selected oven.
6. When the oven has completely cooled, open the door and remove
any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp cloth.
7. To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, press the “OFF”
button for the selected oven.
