Using the self-cleaning lower oven.
The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before a Clean Cycle
We recommend venting your
kitchen with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood
during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
The oven racks can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster and
become hard to slide.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Clean the top, sides and outside of the
oven door with soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover
(on some models) is in place and the
oven light is off.
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Press the Self Clean pad.
Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other
than 4 hours is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You
can change the clean time to any time
between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending
on how dirty your oven is.
Press the Start pad.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
oven. Move birds to another well
ventilated room.
CAUTION:
Never place cooking
utensils or any other items on the oven floor.
There is a heating element beneath the oven
floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause
the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to
the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the LOCKED or
LOCKED DOOR light goes off.
When the LOCKED or LOCKED DOOR light
goes off, you will be able to open the
door.

The word LOCKED or LOCKED DOOR will
flash and the oven control will signal if
you set the clean cycle and forget to
close the oven door.
■
To stop a clean cycle, press the
Clear/Off pad. When the LOCKED or
