The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Safety

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. (appearance may vary)

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

The oven racks 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.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover (on some models) 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 oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

■On models with press pad controls for both ovens, you can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the same time. The last oven set will automatically delay its start until the end of the first oven’s clean cycle.

■On models with press pad controls for both ovens, you can use timed baking in one oven and self-clean the other at the same time.

■On models with a knob, the lower oven does not have the self-clean feature.

CAUTION: Never place cooking utensils or any other items on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Press the Self Clean pad once for a 4-hour clean time or twice for a 3-hour clean time.

A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for use when cleaning small, contained spills. A self-clean time of 4 hours or longer is recommended for a dirtier oven.

If a time other than 4 hours or

3 hours is needed, use the number pads (on some models) or the Hour and Min + or – pads (on some models) and enter the desired clean time.

You can change the clean time to any time between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is.

Press the Start pad.

The door locks automatically. The display will show the clean time remaining. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED light goes off.

When the LOCKED light goes off, you will be able to open the door.

■The word LOCK will flash and the oven control will signal if you set the clean cycle and forget to close the oven door.

■To stop a clean cycle, press the Clear/Off pad. When the LOCKED light goes off indicating the oven has cooled below the locking temperature, you will be able to open the door.
