Using the Self-Cleaning
Cycle
The Self-Cleaning cycle saves you from
the toil and mess that often come with
hand-cleaning the oven interior. Like the
other functions of your range, you operate
the Self-Cleaning cycle with the easy-to-use
electronic control. Please review the
instructions in this section to keep
your oven spotless.

Before you start the Self-Cleaning cycle,
make sure you:
l Hand-clean the areas shown. They do
not get hot enough during the cleaning
cycle for soil to burn away. Use hot water
and detergent or a soapy steel-wool pad
for cleaning.
NOTE: DO NOT clean, move, or bend the
seal. Poor cleaning, baking, and roasting
may result.
l Remove the broiler pan grid and any
pots and pans being stored in the oven.
NOTE: You can clean the broiler pan
(without grid) in the oven if you have first
removed most of the soil by hand-cleaning
or in a dishwasher. If most of the soil is
not removed, too much smoking will
occur. The chrome broiler pan grid will
discolor if cleaned in the Self-Cleaning
cycle.
l Wipe out any loose soil or grease.
This will help reduce smoke during the
Self-Cleaning cycle.
l Remove the oven racks from the
oven if you want them to remain shiny.
You can clean the oven racks in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, but they will become
harder to slide. (See page 30.) If you clean
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides.
(Guides are counted from bottom to top.)
l Heat and odors are normal during the
Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep the kitchen well
ventilated by opening a window or by
turning on a vent hood or other kitchen
vent during the cycle.
Burn Hazard
l Do not touch the oven during the Self-
Cleaning cycle.
l Do not use commercial oven cleaners
in your oven.
Failure to follow the above could result in
burns or hazardous fumes.
NOTES:
l Do not force the Lock Lever. You could
bend or break it. The lever is designed to
stay locked until the oven is cool enough
to safely open. Wait until it moves freely.
l Do not block the vent during the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Air must move freely for
best cleaning results.
l Do not leave plastic utensils near the
vent. They may melt.
l Do not leave any foil in the oven during
the Self-Cleaning cycle. Foil could burn
or melt and damage the oven surface.
l The oven light will not work during
the Self-Cleaning cycle.
