Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven

Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours and 20 minutes

Before a Clean Cycle

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

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

An intact, well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results, If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

4.Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off° if the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately°

CAUTION: The grates and drip pans should never be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaningoven.

A combination of any of these products plus the high clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.
