Self Clean

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.

The Self Clean function allows you to set any amount of cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.

Read before starting Self Clean

Be sure to read all the following caution and important statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:

DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to touch and can cause burns or serious injury.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.

Move birds to another well-ventilated room.The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system.

Use caution when opening the oven door after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

To prepare for Self Clean:

•Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

•Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self-clean cycle and will melt.

•DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.

•Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom (See Fig. 1). These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean (See Fig. 1).

•Oven light will not work during a Self Clean cycle.

•Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting a self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

•DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). The woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket.
