WARNING
DANGER
CAUTION
FOR YOUR SAFETY
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
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. The oven rack
supports are designed to remain in the oven during the Self-
Clean cycle. 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 inches inside the frame with
detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the self-clean mode.
3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean setting until
the knob stops. At this time, the clean indicator light will come
on. Within 30 seconds the automatic door latch engages and
the oven indicator light comes on. The oven indicator light will
remain on until the oven reaches the self-clean temperature and
will then cycle on and off during the self-clean cycle. When the
oven reaches the elevated temperature needed for self-clean,
the door lock indicator light comes on.
4. 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 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 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. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and
temperature control knob to the off position. When the oven
has completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from
the oven surfaces with a damp cloth.
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the
temperature control knob and the oven function selector knob to
OFF. When the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature,
the automatic door latch will release and the oven door can be
opened. When the oven has completely cooled, remove any ash
from the oven surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.
