RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle
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.
Do not block the oven vent during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must 
be able to move freely. See “Oven Vent” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. 
Prepare Range
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all 
cooking utensils, oven racks and aluminum foil and, on some 
models, the temperature probe from the oven.
Use a damp cloth to 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.
Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may 
melt.
Remove all items from the storage drawer.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the 
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and 
popping sounds.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or 
the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.
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.
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press the CANCEL 
button on the keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door 
will remain locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed. The 
cooling fan may continue to run.
Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic 
control requires a 12-hour delay before another self-clean cycle 
can be started.
The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.
Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time (on 
some models)
The SELF CLEAN self-cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 
2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 15-minute 
increments. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light 
soil, and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of 
the cycle is for cool down.
To Self-Clean:
1. Press SELF CLEAN.
2. Press the Temp-Time “up” or “down” arrow pads to enter the 
desired self-clean cycle time.
3. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock. The DOOR LOCKED and 
CLEAN indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining 
will also be displayed.
4. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the 
DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will turn off.
5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp 
cloth.
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and

affect the finish.
