cookware, aluminum foil or any other material
from the oven.
- If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during
the Self Clean cycle, they will discolor and
become difficult to slide in and out.
• The kitchen should be well ventilated to
minimize the odors from cleaning. Open a
window or turn on a ventilation fan or hood
before self-cleaning.
• Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the
oven.
• Make sure that the oven light lamp cover is in
place and the oven light is off.
• Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot
soapy water. Rinse well.
WARNING
• If the oven is heavily soiled with oil, self-clean the
oven before using the oven again. The oil could
cause a fire.
• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean,
turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out.
Do not force the door open. Introduction of
fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to
a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in severe burns.
CAUTION
• Do not use oven cleaners. Commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should not be used in or around any part of
the oven.
• The oven displays an F error code and sounds
three long beeps during the self-cleaning
process if it malfunctions in the self-clean mode.
Switch off the electrical power to the main fuse
or breaker and have the oven serviced by a
qualified technician.
• If the self cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the
range off and disconnect the power supply. Have
it serviced by a qualified technician.
• It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot
during a Self Clean cycle. Avoid touching the
cooktop, door, window or oven vent area during
a Self Clean cycle.
• Do not leave small children unattended near the
appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the
outside of the range can become very hot to the
touch.
• If you have pet birds, move them to another
well-ventilated room. The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the Self Clean cycle of any range.
• Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the range with aluminum foil or
any other material. Doing so will destroy heat
distribution, produce poor baking results and
cause permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of
the oven).
• Do not force the door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use care when
opening the oven door after the Self Clean cycle.
Stand to the side of the oven when opening the
door to allow hot air or steam to escape. The
oven may still be VERY HOT.
NOTE
• The oven light cannot be turned on during a Self
Clean cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on
until the oven temperature has cooled below
500 ˚ F (260 ˚ C) after a Self Clean cycle is
complete.
• During the Self Clean cycle, the cooktop
elements and warming drawer cannot be used.
• Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot
soapy water. Rinse well.
• 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.
• It is normal for the fan to operate during the Self
Clean cycle.
• As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal
and will not damage the oven.
• You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it off with a damp cloth or a soap-filled
steel wool pad after the oven cools. If the oven is
not clean after one Self Clean cycle, repeat the
cycle.
• If oven racks were left in the oven and do not
slide smoothly after a Self Clean cycle, wipe racks
and rack supports with a small amount of
vegetable oil to make them glide more easily.
• After a Self Clean cycle, fine lines may appear in
the porcelain because it went through heating
and cooling. This is normal and will not affect
performance.
• The Self Clean cycle cannot be started if the
Control Lock feature is active.
• Once the Self Clean cycle is set, the oven door
locks automatically. You will not be able to open
the oven door until the oven is cooled. The lock
releases automatically.
