A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures

(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate

soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash

you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

(For models that have a visible bottom bake element ONLY)

To help remove excessive spills from the oven bottom, the

lower element may be tilted up from the front of the

element.  Wait until the oven is completely cool and remove

the bottom oven rack before attempting to raise the

element. Do not to raise the lower element more than 4 or

5 inches from the resting position.

• Completely remove ALL OVEN RACKS and ANY

ACCESSORIES FROM OVEN CAVITY to avoid possible

damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not

removed they may discolor. The Effortless™ Oven Rack

system must be removed during the self-clean cycle to

avoid damaging the glide ability of the rack.

• Remove ALL items from the oven and cooktop

including cookware, utensils and ANY ALUMINUM

FOIL. Aluminum foil will not withstand high

temperatures from a self-clean cycle.

• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any

other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing so

will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking

results and may cause permanent damage to the oven

interior. During self-clean temperatures in the oven can

become hot enough to melt aluminum foil.

• DO NOT use or spray oven cleaners or oven protective

coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.

• Clean any soil from the outer oven frame, the door

liner outside the oven door gasket and the small area

at the front center of the oven bottom. These areas

(See Fig. 1) heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean

using soap and water before starting self-clean.

• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the

oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed before

starting self-clean. To clean, use hot, soapy water

and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or

fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT

allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content

(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie

filling) to remain on the surface as they may leave a

dull spot even after cleaning.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1).

The woven material of the oven door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to

rub, damage or remove the gasket. DO NOT use any

cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so

could cause damage to the door gasket.

• DO NOT leave small children unattended near the

appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of

the range can become very hot to the touch.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the

fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any

range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

• DO NOT force the oven door open when self-clean is

active. This can damage the automatic door locking

system. Use caution when opening the door after the

self-Cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be

• The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have

cooled after they have been turned OFF. The

elements may still be hot and burns may occur if

these elements are touched before they have cooled

sufficiently.
