Self-Cleaning
warning
Do not leave the racks, the meat probe, pots, pans, •
utensils, or any other items in the oven in during
self-cleaning. The convection filter must also be
removed. Items left in the oven during self-cleaning
may be damaged.
The control panel automatically locks the oven door
•
during self-cleaning. Do not try to force the door
open after it is locked. Damage to the door latch
may result.
Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during
•
the self-clean cycle. They will be hot.
Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other
•
materials. These items can melt or burn during
self-cleaning and cause permanent damage to the
oven.
Take extreme caution when cleaning the door
•
gasket. rubbing, moving or in any way damaging
the door gasket may eliminate the required tight
door seal. See page 30 for cleaning instructions.
ImPortant: Always remove excess grease and soil from
the oven interior and door prior to using the self-clean
cycle.
About the Self-Clean Cycle
The oven will run better and produce better •
baked goods if it is clean.
During self-cleaning, the oven is heated to very high
•
temperatures which burns off any deposits on the
surfaces of the oven. Self-cleaning eliminates the
need for manual scrubbing of interior surfaces. You
can set the length of time for self-cleaning based on
the amount of soil. The 3 settings are light (2 hours),
medium (3 hours), and heavy (4 hours).
If you only use your oven to bake cookies occasion-
•
ally, it may require only a light cleaning. If you use
your oven to broil or roast on a frequent basis, it may
require heavy cleaning.
It is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the
•
first few self-clean cycles.
It is normal for the oven to emit popping sounds
•
during self-cleaning. These sounds are caused by the
expansion and contraction of metal surfaces when the
oven heats up and cools down.
When you self-clean your oven, it will automatically
•
activate the electric door latch. The latch prevents the
oven door from being opened while the interior oven
temperatures can easily cause injury.
You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of •
the oven after self-cleaning. This is normal. Sponge
the residue up after the oven completely cools.
If you have a double oven, the control panel will only
•
allow one oven chamber to be self-cleaned at a time
due to the amount of power consumed. For the same
reason, the oven will not allow you to cook in one
oven chamber while the other is being self-cleaned.
If you want to stop the self-clean cycle, press the
•
CanCel/seCure key. please keep in mind that the
oven door will remain locked until it is safe enough to
open. You will still need to exercise caution when the
door lock is released because the inside of the oven
will still be hot.
How to Use the Self-Cleaning Feature
ImPortant: remove the racks and broiler pan, convec-
tion filter, tray, and all utensils from the oven chamber.
See page 30 for instructions on how to remove and clean
the filter.
Clean soil from the oven front frame area and the •
oven door outside of the door gasket. You may clean
heavily soiled areas with a non-scratching scouring
pad.
rinse all exterior surfaces according the
• Cleaning the
Surfaces of the Oven section on page 30.
Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with
•
a damp cloth. Doing so will minimize smoke and
increase the efficiency of the self-clean cycle.
Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors
•
during the self-clean cycle.
If you have a double oven, use the
• uPPer on/oFF
and loWer on/oFF keys to select the oven to be
cleaned. You may only self-clean one oven chamber at
a time.
