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.
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. See “Oven Vent” section.
Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The 
door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Prepare Oven:
Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware.
Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, 
damaging the oven.
Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. 
See “General Cleaning” section for more information.
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.
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.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil 
to a powdery ash. 
The oven is preset for a non-adjustable 3-hour, 30-minute clean 
cycle.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp 
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven 
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the 
inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in 
the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or 
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. 
1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to CLEAN.
2. Turn the SET knob to “On.”
3. Press the ENTER button. “CLn” will appear in the display.
To Stop Self-Clean anytime:
Turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET position or press the 
CANCEL button. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will 
remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
Descaling
Descaling Steps
1. Drain the reservoir following the instructions in the “Water 
Reservoir Drain Operation” section.
2. Turn the Selector knob to AUTO or SELECT STEAM.
3. Prepare a descaling solution. Use a packaged descaling 
agent or descaling tablets, or mix a solution of 
4 cups (1,000 mL) white vinegar and 4 cups (1,000 mL) water.
4. Pour the descaling solution into the water fill inlet.
5. Leave the descaling solution in the range for 2 hours.
6. Drain the descaling solution.
7. Turn the Selector knob to AUTO or SELECT STEAM and fill 
the reservoir with clean water.
8. Drain the reservoir and fill again with clean distilled water.
To Reset the Descale Indicator after Descaling the System:
1. Turn the selector knob to SELECT STEAM. The display will be 
blank, and the “High Steam” indicator light will flash on and 
off.
2. If the water level indicator light is at the “Empty” level, add 
water until the “Half” level is indicated. 
3. Press the ENTER button to select HIGH STEAM and set 
250°F as the cooking temperature.
4. Press the ENTER button. The preset cooking time will appear 
in the display. Set the cook time to “15:00” (minutes).
5. Press the ENTER button to accept the cooking time. The 
display will read “LoAd.”
6. Open and close the oven door. After about 10 minutes the 
“Descale” indicator will turn off.
7. If the descale indicator does not turn off, this means the 
descale process did not completely remove the deposits 
from the boiler, and the descale process should be repeated.
8. The descale indicator may be manually turned off by turning 
the selector knob to RESET and depressing the CANCEL 
button for 5 seconds.
NOTE: If the descaling process was not completed correctly, the 
descale indicator will turn on the next time a steam-assisted 
cooking function is used.
