Self-Clean Oven
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the wall oven to become hot
during a self-clean cycle.
• To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open
the door when "Clean" or "Oven Cooling" is displayed.
• Avoid touching 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. The oven is vented at
the bottom of the oven door of single wall ovens and at the
bottom of the lower door of double wall ovens.
Notes:
• Both ovens cannot be self-cleaned at the same time in
double wall oven models.
• The oven light will not operate during self-clean.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during
clean 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.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the self-clean
oven finish or around any part of the oven as they will dam-
age the finish or parts.
Before Self-Cleaning
Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the
oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide
easily after a self-clean cycle.
Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside the door gasket)
and around the opening in the door gasket with a non-
abrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami* or detergent and
water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures
and should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during
the clean cycle.

LEANING
24
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.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers
from the oven bottom to prevent
excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean
cycle.
Wipe up sugary spillovers and acidic spillovers such as lemon
juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel
is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up prior
to a self-clean cycle.

1. Select Clean using the Options knob.
2. "Remove racks from oven" will be displayed. Remove the
