Care and Cleaning

•  Clean only the parts of the range listed in this manual. 

Clean them only in the manner specified.

•  To avoid dangerous fumes or damage to your range’s 

surfaces and accessories, use only the types of cleaning 

solutions specified in this manual.

•  To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off the burners 

and the oven and make sure that all parts are cool before 

cleaning.

•  To prevent damage, do not use abrasive or corrosive 

cleaners or applicators such as steel wool or scouring pads, 

on any part of the range unless instructed to do so. Use 

only a sponge, soft cloth, fibrous or plastic brush, or nylon 

cleaning pad for cleaning the surfaces of your range.

•  Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the range. Steam could 

penetrate the electrical components and cause a short 

circuit.

•  Always wipe up excess grease and other food spills with 

a damp cloth prior to using the self-clean cycle. Doing so 

will minimize smoke and increase efficiency. See proper 

cleaning instructions on this page.

•  Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the 

self-clean cycle. They will be hot.

•  CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD, COOKING UTENSILS, 

OVEN RACKS, THE CONVECTION FILTER, ETC., IN THE 

OVEN DURING THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.

•  ATTENTION : NE LAISSER AUCUN ALIMENT, UTENSILE 

DE CUISINE, GRILLES DU FOUR, LE FILTRE DE 

CONVECTION, ETC., DANS LE FOUR DURANT LE 

CYCLE D’AUTONETTOYAGE.

•  Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such 

as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch your 

range’s surfaces.

•  Ensure that the anti-tip bracket is engaged after the range is 

moved out for cleaning. Use a flashlight to look underneath 

the range and verify that the anti-tip bracket covers the 

anti-tip foot when the range is moved back into place.

Your Oven’s Self-Clean Feature

About the Self-Clean Cycle

•  The oven will run better and produce better baked 

goods when it is clean. During self-cleaning, the 

oven is heated to very high temperatures which burn 

off any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. Self-

cleaning eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of 

interior surfaces. The self-clean process takes about 

three hours.

•  It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the 

first few self-clean cycles. It is also normal for the 

oven to emit popping sounds during self-cleaning. 

These sounds are caused by the expansion and con-

traction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and 

cools down.

•  Self-clean mode will not function if the meat probe is 

connected.

How to Use the Self-Cleaning Feature

1.  Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the 

convection filter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.), 

the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from 

the oven chamber. See page 26 for instructions on 

how to remove and clean the filter.

2.  Clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door 

outside of the door gasket. Rinse surfaces well with 

a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. Heav-

ily soiled areas may be cleaned with a non-scratching 

scouring pad.

3.  Clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of 

water and mild soap.

Take extreme caution when cleaning the door gasket. Rubbing 

or displacing it may damage the tight door seal required for 

proper cooking and self-cleaning.

4.  Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors 

during the self-clean cycle.

5.  Make sure the oven door is shut.
6.  Press the SELF CLEAN key.
7.  Press START.
The control panel automatically locks the oven door 

during self-cleaning. The latch prevents the door from 

being opened since the high interior oven temperatures 

can easily cause injury. If the door is not shut, “DOOR” 

will appear on the display. To correct the problem, press 

CANCEL/SECURE and wait approximately one minute, 

then close the door. When the door is properly closed, 

start the self-clean process again.
The display shows the self clean cycle status:
•  “CLEAN” indicates that self clean is in process.
•  “LOCK” indicates that the door is latched.
•  “ON” indicates that the heating elements are on. 

If you want to stop the self-clean cycle, press the 

CANCEL/SECURE key. Keep in mind that the oven door 

will remain locked until it is safe enough to open. “LOCK” 

will disappear from the display when the door lock is 

released. You will still need to exercise caution when the 

door lock is released because the inside of the oven may 

still be hot.
