Cleaning the Range – Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and
should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners (unless certified for self-
cleaning oven), abrasive cleaners, strong liquid
cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild
Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using Self Clean Mode.
Self clean uses very high temperatures to clean the oven
interior. You will need to lock the oven door when using
up grease and soils from the oven. Remove all items from
the oven. Shiny or silver racks and any cookware or other
items should all be removed from the oven before initiating
a self-clean cycle. Close the door. Latch the door.
NOTE:
will not be able to slide the latch. Allow the oven to cool.
Press the Self Clean pad and a default self-clean time is
displayed. The clean time can be changed to any time
a different time and pressing Start. For heavily soiled
ovens, the maximum 5 hour clean time is recommended.
If you wish to use the default time, press the Start pad
immediately after pressing the Self Clean pad. The oven
will turn off automatically when the self-clean cycle is
complete and the self-clean light will be off. Slide the
latch handle to the left as far is it will go and open the
Flat Racks
Flat racks can be left in the cavity during self-clean
(if enameled racks, not shiny) or can be washed with
warm, soapy water.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
Oven Heating Elements
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any
soil will burn off when the elements are heated.
To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake element.

will damage the door lock mechanism. After the oven has
cooled down wipe any ash out of the oven.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean
cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the
gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean
these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean
water and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of
the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is
essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the
oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated
room.
To Stop a Self-Clean Cycle
Press Cancel/Off and wait for self clean light to go off.
Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking
temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to
open the door right away unless the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature.

To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
