RANGE CARE
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. Depending on your model, see
"Oven Vent" or "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 from
the oven.
• Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt,
damaging the oven.
• Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide.
See "General Cleaning" section for more information.
Hand clean inside door edge and the 11/2"(3.8 cm) area
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough
during 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 will not
affect cooking performance.
Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer:
• Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may
melt.
• Remove all items from the storage drawer.
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.
The oven is preset for a 2 hour 30 minute clean cycle; however,
the time can be changed by selecting one of the cleaning levels.
There are 5 levels of clean on models with electronic oven control
Style 1 and 2 levels of clean on models with electronic oven
control styles 2 and 3. Suggested clean times are 2 hours
30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes and
4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Use the following charts as a guide to determine the desired
cleaning level.
Style 1
CLEANING TOTAL CLEANING TIME
LEVEL (includes a 30 minute cool down time)
1 (Quick) 2 hours 30 minutes
3 hours
3 (Regular)
3 hours 30 minutes
4 hours
5 (Maxi) 4 hours 30 minutes
Styles 2 and 3
CLEANING TOTAL CLEANING TIME
LEVEL (includes a 30 minute cool down time)
LO 2 hours 30 minutes
HI 4 hours 30 minutes
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in
the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On Canadian models, the rear surface elements will not work
during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. Press SELF CLEAN. To set a clean time other than 2 hours
30 minutes, press SELF CLEAN until the desired time is
reached. The clean time can be set between 2 hours
30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.
2. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock and "DOOR LOCKED"
or "LOCKED," the start time and stop time will remain on the
oven display. On some models, the clean time will appear on
the oven display.
The door will not unlock until the oven cools.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, "End" will
appear on the oven display and "DOOR LOCKED" or
"LOCKED" will disappear from the display.
3. Press OFF or open the oven door to clear the oven display.
