BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL
before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns
or electrical shock.
This oven features an automatic pyrolytic self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the oven reaches elevated temperatures in
order to burn-off soil and deposits. An integral smoke eliminator helps reduce odors associated with the soil burn-off. A
powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the oven after completion of the self-clean cycle. The door latch is automatically
activated after selecting the self-clean setting. The latch ensures that the door cannot be opened while the oven interior is
at clean temperatures.
Before starting the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Remove the oven racks, and any other items/utensils from the oven. The high heat generated during the cleaning cycle
can discolor, warp, and damage these items. DO NOT use foil or liners in the oven. During the self-clean cycle, foil can
burn or melt and damage the oven surface.
2. Wipe off any large spills from the oven bottom and sides. NEVER use oven cleaners inside a self-cleaning oven or on
raised portions of the door.
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand before the cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be baked on and very
difficult to clean if not removed first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame, and up to 2 inches inside the frame
with detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the “SELF CLEAN” mode.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to the clean setting stop. At this time, the clean indicator light will come on. Within 30
seconds the automatic door latch engages and the oven indicator light comes on. The oven indicator light will remain on
until the oven reaches the self-clean temperature and will then cycle on and off during the self-clean cycle. When the
oven reaches the elevated temperature needed for self-clean, the door lock indicator light comes on.
4. The door lock indicator light will remain on until the self-clean is completed or interrupted and the oven temperature
drops to a safe temperature. A complete cycle is approximately 2-1/2 hours with an additional 30 minutes needed for the
oven to cool down enough for the door latch to disengage.
Note: A fan noise will be heard during the self-clean cycle and will continue to run for the 2-1/2 hour duration of the self-
clean cycle.
5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven selector and temperature control knob to the “OFF” position. When the
oven has completely cooled, open door and remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp cloth.
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both the temperature control knob and the oven function selector knob to
“OFF”. When the oven temperature drops to a safe temperature, the automatic door latch will release and the oven door
can be opened. When the oven has completely cooled, remove any ash from the oven surfaces with a damp sponge or
cloth.
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven after self-cleaning cycle
has begun, since some parts become extremely hot to the touch! During
the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used, there may be some
odor and smoking from the curing of the binder in the high-density
insulation used in the oven. When the insulation is thoroughly cured, this
odor will disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may
sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures. Keep the kitchen well-
vented during the self-cleaning cycle.
