Self-Clean

WARNING:

During the elimination of soil during self- cleaning, small amounts of Carbon Monoxide can be created and the fiberglass insulation could give off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. To minimize exposure to these substances, provide good ventilation with an open window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.

Do not block the oven vents(s) during the self-cleaning cycle. Always operate the unit according to the instructions in the manual.

When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door does not lock, stop self-clean operation and contact service.

During Self-Clean, the oven is heated to a very high temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.

ATTENTION:

Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.

ATTENTION:

Do not clean parts or accessories in the Self-Clean oven.

To set the Self-Clean mode:

1.Turn the heating mode dial to "CLEAN".

2.Turn the temperature dial to "CLEAN".

3.Set the cleaning time (1:30 to 2:30 hours) using “+” and “-”.

Self-Clean starts after a few seconds and the oven is locked. The oven can be opened again only after the oven has cooled.

To cancel Self-Clean, turn the heating mode dial to "OFF" position.

A moist cloth is the best way to wipe remaining ash from the oven.

NOTE:

For double oven models: while Self-Clean is in progress in one oven, the other oven must be off.

The oven light cannot be turned on during self- cleaning.

The special heat-resistant enamel and the polished components in the oven can become discolored over time. This is normal and does not affect operation. Under no circumstances should scouring pads or abrasive cleaners be used to treat discolorations.

Avoid These Cleaners

Do not use commercial oven cleaners such as Easy Off®. They may damage the oven finish or parts.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
