Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
Before a Clean Cycle
A WARNING
FIRE HAZARD: Wipe grease and heavy soil from the
oven bottom before self-cleaning. Failure to do so may
result In an oven fire.
We recommend venting your kitchen with on open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the
first self-clean cycle.
Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all
cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
NOTE:
■ If your oven is equipped with shiny, silver-colored
oven racks, remove them before you begin the
self-clean cycle.
■ The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some
models) can be self-cleaned, but they will darken,
lose their luster and become hard to slide.
■ If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-
coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven
during the self-clean cycle.
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
steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub^r
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.
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.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
The oven doors must be closed and all controls set
correctly for the cycle to work properly.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for
use when cleaning small, contained spills. A
self-clean time of 5 hours is recommended for
a dirtier oven.
^ If a time other than 5 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.
~J] Touch the SfTART pad.
The upper and lower oven doors lock automatically.
The cooktop elements are also locked out during
self-clean. The display will show the clean time
remaining. It will not be possible to open the oven
doors or use the cooktop until the temperature drops
below the lock temperature and LOCKED/DOOR A
goes off in the control display.
When LOCKED/DOOR 6 goes off, you will be able
to open the doors.

Double Ovens:
■ You can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the
same time; however, they will not self-clean at the
same time. The last oven set will automatically
delay its start until the end of the first oven's clean
cycle.
■ When an oven is set to self-clean, both oven doors
will lock and the cooktop controls will lock out. The
ovens and cooktop cannot be used when an oven
is set to self-clean.
