Problem
The oven will not
self-clean.
Excessive smoking
during a self-
cleaning cycle.
The oven door will
not open after a
self-cleaning cycle.
The oven is not
clean after a self-
cleaning cycle.
Steam is coming out
of the vent.
A burning or oily
odor is coming from
the vent.
Possible cause
The oven temperature is
too high to start a self-clean
operation.
The oven controls have been
set incorrectly.
A self-cleaning cycle cannot
be started if the oven lockout
feature has been activated.
There is excessive soiling in the
oven.
The oven is too hot.
The oven controls were not set
correctly.
The oven was heavily soiled.
When using the convection
feature, it is normal to see
steam coming out of the oven
vent.
As the number of racks or
amount of food being cooked
increases, the amount of visible
steam will increase.
This is normal for a new oven
and will disappear in time.
Solution
Allow the oven to cool and then
reset the controls.
See the Self clean section on
page 111.
Deactivate the oven control
lockout (see page 33).
Press OFF. Open the windows
to rid the room of smoke. Wait
until the self-cleaning cycle is
canceled. Wipe up the excessive
soil and then start the self-
cleaning cycle again.
Allow the oven to cool.
See the Self clean section on
page 111.
Wipe up heavy spillovers
before starting the self-cleaning
cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may
need to be self-cleaned again or
for a longer period of time.
This is normal operation and
not a system failure.
Use the oven as usual.
To speed the process, set a self-
cleaning cycle for a minimum of
3 hours.
See the Self clean section on
page 111.
