Self-Clean Oven

Note: For manual clean oven, see page 22.
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the range to become hot during a
self-clean cycle.
• To prevent personal injury and damage to the oven door
do not attempt to open door when "LOCK" is displayed.
• Avoid touching cooktop, 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. Do not force the oven
door or lock lever open. This may result in exposure to high
temperatures and be a burn hazard.
It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during
cleaning 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.
Before Self-Cleaning
1. Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn
out during the clean cycle.
2. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the
oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily
after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.
3. Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and
around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive
cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The
self-cleaning process does not
clean these areas. They should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking
on during the clean cycle. (The
gasket is the seal around the oven
door and window.)
4. 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.
5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom.
This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming
during the clean cycle.

6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet
potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel
is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic spills are not wiped up before a self-
clean cycle.
Note: Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program
a clean cycle.
To set Self-Clean:
1. Close the oven door.
2. Move door lock lever right to the locked position.
3. Press the Clean pad.

self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display
will return to the time of day.
4. Press the More+ or Less- pad.
