Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of normal heat, odors and smoke.

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

If the Self-Cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand clear areas noted on page 19.

If the Lock Lever is not in the Clean position, the word “door” appears in the Display and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not start. Move the Lock Lever to the right-the Clean position. The Display will show the clean time you selected and will begin the cycle.

How It Works

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for

baking or broiiing...approximately 875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off.
