1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.

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.

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

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.

To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press OFF/CANCEL. If the temperature is too high the oven door will remain locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed.
