Self-Cleaning the Oven

This oven features a pyrolytic Self-Cleaning function that
eliminates the difficult and time consuming manual scrubbing
of the oven interior. During Self-Cleaning, the oven uses a very
high temperature (approx.
860 °F/460 °C) to burn away food soil and grease.
• Do not use the cooktop during the oven self cleaning cycle.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up
during the Self-Cleaning cycle, depending on the content
and amount of soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists,
turn off the oven and allow it to cool before opening the
door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
• The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the
Self-Cleaning cycle. The "SYMBOL" writings will appear in
the display. This ensures that the door cannot be opened
while the oven interior is at clean temperatures.
• The oven light does not operate during this mode.
• During Self-Cleaning, the kitchen should be well ventilated
to help eliminate odors associated with Self-Cleaning.
Odors will lessen with use.
• 1h:30 is the preset length of cleaning.
• The mode automatically stops at the end of the clean hours.
• When the oven heat drops to a safe temperature, the
automatic door lock will release and the door can be
opened.

18 - Oven Care and Cleaning

Preparing the Oven for Self-Cleaning

1. Remove all utensils and bakeware.
2. Remove non-porcelain oven racks.
CAUTION
If chromed racks are left in the oven during the Self-Cleaning
cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and change
to a dull dark finish. See Cleaning Chart for proper care,
page 27.
3. Wipe up any soft soil spills and grease with paper towels.
Excess grease will cause flames and smoke inside the oven
during Self-Cleaning.
4. Review illustration below. Some areas of the oven must be
cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. They do not get
hot enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away.
Use a soapy sponge or plastic scrubber or a detergent-filled
S.O.S.® pad. Hand-clean the oven door edge, oven front
frame and up to 1-1/2 " (2 - 3 cm) inside the frame with
detergent and hot water. Do not rub the gasket on oven.
Clean by hand the oven door window. Rinse all areas
thoroughly then dry.
5. Be sure oven interior lights are turned off and the light bulbs
and lens covers are in place. See Page 29.
