Self-Cleaning Cycle(on some models)

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during

Self-Cleaning cycle.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see “Oven Vent” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket.

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.

Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL/OFF. If the temperature is too high the oven door will remain locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed.

Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic control requires a 12-hour delay before another self-clean cycle can be started.

The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.

Electronic Oven Control with Precise Clean™ Feature (on some models)

The Precise Clean™ self-cleaning cycle is a “one-touch” step that uses very high temperatures and dissolves soil to a powdery ash. The Precise Clean™ feature will automatically determine the length of cleaning time needed based on the number of times the oven has been used since the last self-cleaning cycle. The maximum clean time is 4 hours and the minimum clean time is 2 hours.

Prepare Range

■Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks and aluminum foil and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

■Use a damp cloth to 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.

■Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.

■Remove all items from the storage drawer.

To Self-Clean:

1.Press PRECISE CLEAN cycle. “PRECISE CLEAN REMOVE RACKS SET CLEAN TIME OR PUSH START” will scroll in the display.

2.Press START.

The oven door will automatically lock. “LOCKING” and the stop time will appear in the display. The remaining clean time will also be displayed.
