 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 30 minute clean cycle, but the 

time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 
minutes for light soil and between 3

 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 

30 minutes for average to heavy soil. 
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 completely cooled down could 
result in the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On combination oven models, the upper oven will not work
