Self-Clean Oven
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a
self-clean cycle.
• To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open
the door when LOCK is displayed.
• Avoid touching door, window or oven vent area during a
clean cycle.
•Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish
or around any part of the oven. They will damage the
finish or parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures
to automatically clean the oven interior.
The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers
to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not allow a
heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well
ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Self-Cleaning
1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The oven light may
burn out during the clean cycle.
2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the
oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily
after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.
3. Clean oven frame, door frame, area
outside of gasket, and around the
opening in the door gasket with a
nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon
Ami* or detergent and water. The
self-cleaning process does not
clean these areas. They should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking
on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around
the oven door and window.)
4. To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around
the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat
during the clean cycle.
5. Wipe up excess grease or spill-overs from the oven
bottom. This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or
flaming during the clean cycle.
6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet
potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel
is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up before a
self-clean cycle.
