12.2 Self clean function
With pyrolytic self cleaning the oven is heated to a very
high temperature. Stubborn soil is burnt off and can be
wiped out after self clean is finished and the oven has
cooled.
After the completion of a self-clean cycle, the oven will not
allow you to start another self-clean cycle for 24 hours.
For a double oven, if one cavity runs self clean, neither
cavity may operate a self clean cycle for 24 hours.
Preparing self clean
WARNING
During the elimination of soil during self-cleaning, small
amounts of carbon monoxide can be created and the
fiberglass insulation could give off very small amounts of
formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
To minimize exposure to these substances, provide
▶
good ventilation with an open window, or use a
ventilation fan or hood.
During the self clean cycle, parts of the appliance may
become potentially harmful to persons who lack adult
knowledge of appliances and adult reactions to potentially
harmful conditions.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an
▶
area where appliances are in use.
The oven heats up to a very high temperature during self
cleaning. Opening the door can result in injury.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will
▶
not open.
If the door does not lock, do not run Self Clean. Contact
▶
Customer Service.
CAUTION
Remove broiler pans, pots, and other utensils and excess
spillage before self-cleaning.
Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc., in the oven
during the pyrolytic self-cleaning mode of operation.

corrosive to stainless steel. Check the ingredients on the
label of the cleanser.

¡
solvents.
CAUTION
The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering
the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to
the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents.
