Before a Clean Cycle
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend
venting your kitchen with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Remove the shelves, any broiler pan,
broiler grid, probe, all cookware and
any aluminum foil from the oven.
The oven shelves can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.
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 scouring 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
NOTE: Use caution when opening the upper
oven after the self-clean cycle has ended.
The oven may still be hot.
Using the self-cleaning upper oven.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Cleaning
Touch and hold the GAS/CONTROL
LOCKOUT pad for 3 seconds to turn it
off. See the Gas/Control Lockout section.
NOTE: The surface burners must be
turned off prior to the self-clean start
time.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time, if a time other than
4 hours is needed.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours. You can
change the clean time to any time between
3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty
your oven is.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the lock
temperature and the LOCKED DOOR
light goes off.
The oven shuts off automatically when the
clean cycle is complete.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off,
the door will unlock automatically.
■ The words LOCK DOOR will flash and
the oven control will signal if you set
the clean cycle and forget to close the
oven door.
■ To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED DOOR
light goes off indicating the oven has
cooled below the locking temperature,
you may open the door.
■ Do not use the lower oven drawer during
a self-clean cycle.
