OVEN 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.

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 for light soil and between 4 hours and 5 hours for average to heavy soil.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. 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.

On some models, the surface elements will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

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

If an oven door is left open, “Door Open Clean Canceled” will appear in the display and a signal will beep. Close the oven door and press CLEAN MODES.

NOTE: Only one oven can use the Self-Clean cycle at a time. A 24-hour wait is recommended before the next Self Clean cycle.

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.

Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using Precise Clean. If the oven is above 170°F (77°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Self Clean cycle will not activate until it cools.

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.

To Self-Clean:

1.Close the oven door.

2.Press CLEAN MODES. “REMOVE RACKS” will scroll in the selected oven text area.

3.“Press 1 for Steam Clean” will appear in the upper display area.

“Press 2 for Precise Clean” will appear in the lower display area.

4.Choose Precise Clean setting by pressing 2.

5.Press the Temp/Time keypad to adjust the clean time. The time can be set from 3 to 5 hours.

6.Press START.

After the door is locked, “Precise CLEAN” will scroll in the selected text area until the clean cycle is finished.

When the self-clean cycle ends:

“CLN COMPLETE” will scroll in the selected oven text area. “OVEN COOLING” will scroll in the display until the oven temperature falls below 500°F (260°C).

“UNLOCKING” will be displayed until the oven door unlocks and the lock icon turns off.
