Using the self-cleaning upper oven.

If your model has a door latch, never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism. The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Safety

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Before a Clean Cycle

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

Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware, probe and any aluminum foil from the oven—they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE:

■If your oven is equipped with nickel oven shelves, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.

■If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-coated oven shelves, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

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 scouring 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.

NOTE: Use caution when opening the upper oven after the self-clean cycle has ended. The oven may still be hot.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Cleaning

On models with Gas/Control Lockout, touch and hold the Gas/Control Lockout pad for 3 seconds to turn it off.

NOTE: The surface burners must be turned off prior to the self-clean start time.

If your model has a latch, latch the door.

Touch the Self Clean pad.

Using the number pads, enter the desired clean time, if a time other than 4 hours is needed.

Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You can change the clean time to any time between

3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is.

Touch the Start pad.

When the LOCKED DOOR light is off, slide the latch handle to the left as far as it will go and open the door. If your range does not have a latch, the door will unlock automatically.

■The words LOCK DOOR will flash and the oven control will signal if you set the clean cycle and forget to close the oven door or forget to latch the door on models with a latch.

■To stop a clean cycle, touch the Clear/Off pad. When the LOCKED DOOR light goes off, indicating the oven has cooled below the locking temperature, unlatch the door (on models with a latch) and open the door.

Troubleshooting Tips

On models without a door latch, 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 DOOR light goes off.

The oven shuts off automatically when the clean cycle is complete.
