Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

Safety

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove the shelves, broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you begin the self-clean cycle or they may discolor.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

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

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Follow the directions in the Before a Clean Cycle section.

Latch the door.

NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is too hot, you will not be able to slide the latch. Allow the oven to cool.

Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.

Touch the + or – pads until the desired Clean Time is displayed.

The Clean Time is normally 4 hours. You can change the Clean Time to any time between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the amount of soil in your oven.

Touch the START/ON pad.

The self-clean cycle will automatically begin after CLEAN is displayed and the time countdown appears in the display.

While the oven is self-cleaning, you can touch the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, touch the SELF CLEAN pad.

The oven shuts off automatically when the clean cycle is complete, and 0:00 will flash in the display.

Slide the latch handle to the left as far as it will go and open the door.

It will not be possible to unlatch the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED door light goes off.

When the LOCKED door light is off, unlatch the door.
