Cleaning Guide
Soil Level | Cycle Setting |

Moderately Soiled Oven Cavity | 3 Hour Self Clean (p. 40) |
Heavily Soiled Oven Cavity | 4 Hour Self Clean (p. 40) |
SELF CLEAN (Upper & Lower Oven)
The SELF CLEAN cycle uses above normal cooking tempera- tures to clean the oven cavity. You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time. Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled. During self clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning. The upper and lower oven SELF CLEAN cannot be operated simultaneously.
CAUTION
yy DO NOT leave small children unattended near the ap- pliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch.
yy If you have a pet bird, move it to another
yy DO NOT wrap the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range with aluminum foil or any other material. Doing so will destroy the heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and cause permanent damage to the interior of the oven (aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of the oven).
yy DO NOT force the door open. This can cause damage to the automatic door locking system. Use care when opening the oven door after the Self Cleaning cycle.
Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The oven may still be very hot.
yy Do not touch the oven broil element until it has com- pletely cooled.
NOTE
If the door will not fully open, the indentation is not seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot.
