Self-Clean

9WARNIN G
WHEN USING THE SELF-CLEAN SETTING
During the eliminatio n of soil during self-cleaning,
small amounts of Carbon Monoxide can be
created and the fiberglass insulation could give
off very small amounts of formaldehy de during
the first several cleaning cycles . To minimize
exposure to these substances, pro vide good
ventilation with an open window, or use a
ventilation fan or hood.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the self-
cleaning cycle. Always operate the unit according
to the instructions in this manual.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks
and will not open. If the door does not lock, do
not run Self-Clean. Contact service.
During Self-Clean, the oven is heated to a ve ry high
temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.
