RANGE CARE

Self-Cleaning Cycle

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.

Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired cleaning level.

CLEANING	TOTAL CLEANING TIME
LEVEL	(includes a 30 minute cool down time)
Light	3 hours 30 minutes
Medium	4 hours
Heavy	4 hours 30 minutes

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the length of the clean cycle was not long enough for the amount of soil in the oven. Repeat the self-clean cycle if desired, or the soil will be removed during the next clean cycle. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

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

On 48" (121.9 cm) ranges, only one oven can self-clean at a time. If one oven is self-cleaning, the other oven cannot be set or turned on.

NOTE: The oven has a 2 speed cooling fan motor. During self- cleaning the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s).

An increase of noise may be noticeable during and after the self- cleaning cycle until the oven cools.

To Self-Clean:

1.From the Modes or Setup menus, touch the SELF-CLEAN button.

2.If accessing Self Clean by using the Setup Menu on 48" (121.9 cm) ranges, select the oven you want to clean: Left or Right, then touch NEXT.

3.Two messages appear on the screen:

■Remove all oven racks and pans from the oven. Racks could discolor and not slide easily after a Self Clean cycle.

■Clean oven frame and door frame with a nonabrasive cleaning agent because they are not exposed to cleaning temperatures. Do not clean gasket.

4.Touch NEXT.

5.Select the cleaning level by pressing the buttons:

Light (3½ hours), Medium (4 hours) or Heavy (4½ hours).

NOTE: The oven will cool for an additional hour after cleaning is completed.

6.To set a delayed start, touch DELAY START. See “Delay Start” section for additional information.

7.Touch START. The door(s) will lock.

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.

The oven is preset for a 4 hour clean cycle; however the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 3 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 4 hours and 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.

To Stop Self-Clean anytime:

Touch CANCEL OVEN (CANCEL LEFT or CANCEL RIGHT on 48" [121.9 cm] oven models). If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
