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.

Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer:

Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.

Remove all items from the storage drawer.

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 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are

2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.

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

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

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.

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. Applying a cool, damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in the glass breaking.

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

To Self-Clean:

Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.

1.Press AUTO CLEAN.

2.Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.

3.Press START/ENTER.

The oven door will automatically lock. The ON and DOOR LOCKED oven indicator lights will light up. The door will not unlock until the oven cools.

When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will appear on the oven display and the oven indicator lights will go off.

4.Press OFF/CANCEL to clear the oven display.

To Stop Self-Clean anytime:

Press OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
