RANGE CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle (on some models)

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke.

Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

Prepare Oven:

■Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

■Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more information.

■Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.

■Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.

■Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer or Warming Drawer:

■Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.

■Remove all items from the storage drawer or warming drawer.

NOTE: Oven temperature must be below 400°F (205°C) to program a clean cycle.

How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.

Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and between 3 hours and 4 hours for average to heavy soil.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

When “LOCKED” shows in the display, the door cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when “LOCKED” is displayed.

To Self-Clean:

Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely. If the oven door is left open, “CLOSE DOOR” will appear in the display until the door is closed.

1.Press CLEAN.

2.“REMOVE RACKS” will be displayed. Remove the racks.

3.Select CONTINUE using the Quickset pad. The Quickset pads are located on either side of the control panel display.

4.Set LIGHT soil level by entering “200” using the number pads for 2 hours of cleaning time.

OR

Select MEDIUM for a moderately soiled oven and 3 hours of cleaning time.

OR

Select HEAVY for a heavily soiled oven and 4 hours of cleaning time.

“CLEAN,” “TIME,” “LOCKED” and the cleaning time countdown will be displayed while the oven is cleaning.

“OVEN COOLING” will appear in the display when the cleaning time has been completed and the oven is still locked.

The door lock will disengage approximately 1 hour after the cleaning time is completed. OVEN COOLING will go off in the display when the oven door has unlocked.
