IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to 
the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to 
the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds 
to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil 
results in longer cleaning and more smoke.

Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to 
help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air 
must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see 
“Oven Vent” or “Oven Vents” section.

Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The 
door gasket is essential for a good seal.

■

Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, 
on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.

■

Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. 
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.

■

Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, 
damaging the oven.

■

Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½" (3.8 cm) area 
around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to 
move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough 
during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, 
etc., enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this 
area.

■

Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. 
At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, 
etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not 
affect cooking performance.

■

Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may 
melt.

■

Remove all items from the storage drawer or warming drawer.

NOTE: Oven temperature must be below 400°F (205°C) to 
program a clean cycle.

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the 
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and 
popping sounds.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil 
to a powdery ash. 

The oven is preset for a 3 hour clean cycle; however, the time can 
be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and 
between 3 hours and 4 hours for average to heavy soil. 

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp 
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp 
cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

When “LOCK” shows in the display, the door cannot be opened. 
To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when 
”LOCK” is displayed.

1. Close the oven door.

2. Press SELF CLEAN. “CLEAN” and “SEt” will flash in the 

display.

3. Press the PRESETS 0 number pad. 

MEd (Medium soil, 3 hours) appears in the display.

If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and “door” will 
appear in the display until the door is closed. If the door is not 
closed within 30 seconds, the self-cleaning operation will be 
canceled and the display will return to the time of day.

If more than 5 seconds elapse between pressing Clean and 
Presets 0, the program will automatically return to the 
previous display.

4. To choose a clean setting other than medium, press the
