OVEN CONTROLS
Self Clean
A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temper
tures (well above normal cooking temperatures),
which vaporizes soils or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with
a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for
clean times between 2 and 4 hours.
Important: Before starting self clean read all fol-
lowing caution and important statements before
starting a self clean cycle.
WARNING
•
Do not leave small children unattended near
appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside
of the oven can become very hot and cause
burns if touched.
•
Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom,
or any part of the range with aluminum foil.
This will cause permanent damage to the oven
interior and destroy heat distribution, and will
melt to the oven interior.
•
Do not force the oven door open. This will
damage the automatic door locking system.
Use caution when opening the oven door after
the self clean cycle ends. The oven may still
be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible
burns, stand to side of oven when opening
door to allow steam or hot air to escape.
•
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to fumes given off during the self clean cycle
of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated
room.
Important notes:
•
Completely remove all oven racks and any ac-
cessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to
oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed
they may discolor.
•
Remove all items from the oven and cooktop
including cookware, utensils, and any aluminum
foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high tem-
peratures from a self clean cycle and will melt.
•
Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protec-
tive coatings in or around any part of the oven
interior. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the
door liner outside the oven door gasket, and the
small area at the front center of the oven bot-
tom (page 23). These areas heat sufficiently to
burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to
starting Self Clean.

•
Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the
oven bottom should be wiped up and removed
before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use
hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can
cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to
high temperatures.
•
Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut,
fruit juices, or pie fillings) to remain on the
surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
•
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven
material in the gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could
cause damage to the door gasket and compro-
mise the performance of the oven.
•
The kitchen area should be well ventilated us-
ing an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust
hood during the first self clean cycle. This will
help eliminate the normal odors.

•
Do not attempt to open the oven door when
the OVEN LOCK indicator light is flashing. Allow
about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch
mechanism to completely lock or unlock the
oven door.
•
When the clean time finishes, the oven door will
remain locked until the range has cooled suf-
ficiently. In addition to the clean time that was
programmed, you must allow about 1 additional
hour for the oven to cool before you will be able
to open the oven door.
