NOTE: The oven has a 2 speed cooling fan motor. During self- clean the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after the self- clean cycle until the oven cools.
To Self-Clean:
Prepare Oven:
■Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
■Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven.
■Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during
■Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.
