Using the Self-Cleaning Oven
Wall Oven
Before a
clean cycle
The oven door must be closed and all controls
must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood
during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, probe,
all cookware and any aluminum foil from
the oven.
Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (including the
offset rack) may remain in the oven during the
self-cleaning cycle without being damaged. The
convection roasting rack and nickel-plated oven
racks (including the offset rack) may remain in
the oven during the self-cleaning cycle, but they
will darken and become hard to slide.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean
the top, sides and outside of the oven door
with soap and water.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover (on some
models) 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 oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.
(Appearance may vary.)
On double oven models, you can set a clean cycle in
both ovens at the same time. The last oven set will
automatically delay its start until the end of the first
oven’s clean cycle.
On double oven models, you can use timed baking in
one oven and self-clean the other at the same time.
How to set
the oven for
cleaning
1 Press the SELF CLEAN STD/LOW pad once
for a 4-hour clean time or twice for a 3-hour
clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for
use when cleaning small, contained spills. A
self-clean time of 4 hours or longer is
recommended for a dirtier oven.
2 If a time other than 4 hours or 3 hours is
needed, use the number pads and enter the
desired clean time.
You can change the clean time to any time
between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on
how dirty your oven is.
3 Press 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 light goes off.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will be
able to open the door.
• The word “LOCK” 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, press the CLEAR/OFF
pad. When the LOCKED light goes off
indicating the oven has cooled below the
locking temperature, you will be able to
open the door.
