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.

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” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door 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 CANCEL/OFF. If the temperature is too high the oven door will remain locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed.

The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.

Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time

The SELF CLEAN self-cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 15-minute increments. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil, and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the cycle is for cool down.
