Oven Care
Self-Cleaning Cycle
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.
Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.
Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle
to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.
Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Air must be able to move freely. See the "Oven Vents" section.
Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.
The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Prepare Oven:
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, and,
■
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
■
See the "General Cleaning" section for more information.
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
■
damaging the oven.
Hand clean inside door edge and the 1
■
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during high-temp self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water,
cleaner, etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to
clean this area.
Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
■
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining,
etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. This is normal
and will not affect cooking performance.
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.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
Suggested clean times are 3 hours for light soil, 4 hours for
medium soil, and 5 hours for heavy soil.
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.
The oven lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
NOTE: The oven has a 2-speed cooling fan motor. During the
Self-Cleaning cycle, the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to
increase airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven
vent(s). An increase in noise may be noticeable during and after
the Self-Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.

To Start Self-Cleaning Cycle:
Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. For single ovens, touch SELF CLEAN. For double ovens, touch
TOOLS, select SELF CLEAN, and then touch the desired oven
to clean.
2. Select the desired time/soil level, and then touch NEXT.
3. Read the on-screen instructions, and then touch NEXT.
4. Follow the on-screen directions. The oven will prompt you to
touch a series of keypads to confirm the Self-Cleaning cycle.
The oven will start locking the door. Opening the door at this
point will cancel the Self-Cleaning cycle. The start time and
stop time will appear on the oven display.
When the cycle is complete, a countdown timer will be
displayed that represents the amount of time remaining
before the door is unlocked. The door will not unlock until
the oven is cool.
NOTE: The oven door will lock before the timer begins
counting down.
If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, and then reminder
tones will sound every minute.
To Stop Self-Cleaning Anytime:
Touch CANCEL for the appropriate oven. If the oven temperature
is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the
oven cools.
