Self-Cleaning (somemode s)

What to Expect during Cleaning:

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven vent.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause

alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

Self-Clean Cycle time length

For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.

NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the soil into a colorless vapor.
