Care & Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven (select models)

Note: For manual clean oven, see page 13.

CAUTION

It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle.

To prevent personal injury and damage to the oven door do not attempt to open door when “LOCK” is displayed.

Avoid touching cooktop, 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. Do not force the oven door or lock lever open. This may result in exposure to high temperatures and be a burn hazard.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build- up of soil 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 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 spillovers 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 spills are not wiped up before a self-clean cycle.

To set Self-Clean:

Note: Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program a clean cycle.

1.Close the oven door.

2.Move door lock lever right to the locked position.

3. Press the CLEAN pad.

• CLEAN flashes in the display.

If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and DOOR will display. If the door is not closed within 45 seconds, the self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display will return to the time of day.

4. Press the ▲ or ▼ pad.

CL-M (Clean – Medium Soil) is displayed.

5. Press the ▲ or ▼ pad to scroll through the self-cleaning settings.

CL-H (Clean – Heavy Soil, 4 hours)

CL-M (Clean – Medium Soil, 3 hours)

CL-L (Clean – Light Soil, 2 hours)

Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs the self-cleaning time.

6.After four seconds, the oven will start cleaning.

The cleaning time will start counting down in the display.

LOCK will appear in the display.

CLEAN will appear in the display.

To Delay a Self-Clean Cycle:

1.Press the DELAY pad.

• DELAY flashes.

• 00:00 will appear in the display.

2.Press the ▲ or ▼ pad to set the amount of time you want to delay the cycle. Delay time can be set from ten minutes (00:10) to 11 hours, 59 minutes (11:59).
