MAINTENANCE

The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures 

to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean 

cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is 

normal; especially if the oven is heavily soiled.
During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well 

ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning.

 

•

Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all 

cookware, aluminum foil or any other material from 

the oven.

 

•

The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize 

the odors from cleaning.

 

•

Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the 

oven.

 

•

Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place 

and the oven light is off.

 

•

The oven light cannot be turned on during a Self 

Clean cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on 

until the oven temperature has cooled below  

500 ˚F (260 ˚C) after a Self Clean cycle is complete.

 

•

Do not leave small children unattended near 

the appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the 

outside of the range can become very hot to 

the touch.

 

•

If you have pet birds, move them to another 

well-ventilated room. The health of some birds 

is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off 

during the Self Clean cycle of any range.

 

•

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any 

other part of the range with aluminum foil or 

any other material. Doing so will destroy heat 

distribution, produce poor baking results and 

cause permanent damage to the oven interior 

(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of 

the oven).

 

•

Do not force the door open. This can damage 

the automatic door locking system. Use care 

when opening the oven door after the Self 

Clean cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when 

opening the door to allow hot air or steam to 

escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.

During the Self Clean cycle, the cooktop elements 

and warming drawer cannot be used.

 

•

Remove oven racks and accessories before 

starting the Self Clean cycle.

 

•

If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during 

the Self Clean cycle, they will discolor and 

become difficult to slide in and out.

 

•

Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot 

soapy water. Rinse well.

 

•

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.

 

•

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven 

bottom.

 

•

Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in 

place and the oven light is off.

 

•

It is normal for the fan to operate during the Self 

Clean cycle.

The Self Clean function has cycle times of 2, 3, or 4
