Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer:
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.
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 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.
Press AUTO CLEAN.
2.
Press the TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a 
clean time other than 3
 hour 30 minutes. The clean time can 
be set between 2 hours 30 minutes
 and 4 hours 30 minutes. 
3.
Press START/ENTER.
The oven door will automatically lock. The ON, HEAT and 
DOOR LOCKED oven indicator lights will light up. The door 
will not unlock until the oven cools.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will 
appear on the oven display and the oven indicator lights will 
go off.
4.
Press OFF/CANCEL to clear the oven display.
To Stop Self-Clean any time:
Press OFF. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will 
remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT:
 Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 
the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions 
on cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless 
otherwise noted.
EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES
(on some models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should 
be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills 
may affect the finish.
Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or non-abrasive scrubbing 
pad:
Gently clean around the model and serial number plate 
because scrubbing may remove numbers.
COOKTOP CONTROLS
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.
Do not soak knobs.
When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the OFF position.
On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.
Soap and water or dishwasher:
Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.
CERAMIC GLASS 
(on some models)
Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine 
bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.
Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly 
to prevent streaking and staining.
Cooktop Polishing Creme is recommended regularly to help 
prevent scratches, pitting and abrasions and to condition the 
cooktop, and can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance 
or Service” to order.
A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and 
can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” to 
order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store razor 
blades out of the reach of children.
Light to moderate soil
Paper towels or clean damp sponge:
Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear 
oven mitts while doing so.
Sugary spills (jellies, candy, syrup)
Cooktop Scraper:
Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear 
oven mitts while doing so.
Cooktop Polishing Creme and clean damp paper towel:

rubbing until white film disappears.
Heavy soil, dark streaks, specks and discoloration

spots. Polish entire cooktop with creme and paper towel.
Metal marks from aluminum and copper
Cooktop Polishing Creme:
Clean as soon as cooktop has cooled down. Rub creme into 
surface with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue 
rubbing until white film disappears. The marks will not totally 
disappear but after many cleanings become less noticeable.
Tiny scratches and abrasions
Cooktop Polishing Creme:
Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft 
cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears. Scratches
