Remove silver-
colored oven
racks before you
begin the self-
clean cycle.

The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking
temperatures to clean the oven’s interior
automatically.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur
during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better
to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until
there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be
well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated
with cleaning.

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.

Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, broiler grid, all
cookware, and aluminum foil or any other material
from the oven.

• The silver-colored oven racks can be self-cleaned,

but they will darken, lose their luster, and become
hard to slide. It is recommended to remove all racks
before starting the self-clean cycle.

• Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the

gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand.
Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-
wool pads, or cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse
well with clean water and dry.

• 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 the oven light bulb cover is in place and

the oven light is off.

• Do not leave baking / pizza stone in the oven during

the self-clean cycle.

The bake element is designed to be tilted up using
your hand from the front of bake element. This will
allow easier access to the oven bottom for cleaning.
Be careful not to raise the element more than 4 or 5
inches from the resting position.

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

range can become very hot to touch.

- The health of some birds is extremely sensitive

to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning
cycle of any range.

- 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).

- This can damage the automatic door locking

system. Use care when opening the oven door
after the Self-Cleaning 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.

• The oven bake and broil elements may appear to

have cooled after they have been turned OFF.
The elements may still be hot and burn may occur
if these elements are touched before they have
cooled sufficiently.
