Before a Clean Cycle

Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Operating Instructions

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

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

Remove all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the top, sides and outside of the oven door with soap and water.

The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, to help prevent heavy smoke caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you must first clean off the excess grease.

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.
