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.
the self clean process takes about three hours.

self clean mode will not function if the meat probe is

connected.

warning

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.
items left in the oven during self cleaning will become

damaged or damage the oven. see page 25 for

directions on polishing a rack that is left in the oven

during self cleaning.
