is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Clean only parts listed in this guide.

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION

Do not leave rack, broiling pan, food or cooking
utensils, etc. in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

• Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential

for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven liners of any kind in

or around any part of the self-clean oven.

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan,

oven rack and other utensils, and wipe off excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flare ups.

Important Safety Notice and
Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce­ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when
the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may
be some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly venting
the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/
or door in the room where the appliance is located
during the self-clean cycle.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS:

Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where
the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a
very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during
an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to
birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be
equally harmful.

CARE & CLEANING

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION

• It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a
self-clean cycle.

• To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open
the door when LOCK is displayed.

• Avoid touching door, window or oven vent area during a
clean cycle.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish
or around any part of the oven. They will damage the
finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures to
automatically clean the oven interior.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during
cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven
regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil
in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well venti­lated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Self-Cleaning

1. Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven rack from the oven.
The oven rack will discolor and may not slide easily after a self­clean cycle if they are not removed.

2. Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside of gasket, and
around the opening in the door gasket) with a nonabrasive
cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self­cleaning process does not clean these areas. They should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle.
(The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window).

3. To prevent damage, do not clean or
rub the gasket around the oven door.
The gasket is designed to seal in heat
during the clean cycle.

4. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers
from the oven bottom. This prevents
excessive smoking, flare-ups or flam­ing during the clean cycle. To make cleaning easier, the
heating element can be lifted slightly (about 1 inch).

5. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes,
tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid­resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if
acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up before a self-clean
cycle.

To set Self-Clean:

Note: Oven temperature must be below 400° F to program

a clean cycle.

1. Close the oven door.

2. Press the Clean pad.

• CLEAN and SET flash in the display.

3. Press the Autoset pad.

• “MEd” (Medium Soil, 3 hours) is displayed.

4. Press the Autoset pad to scroll through the self-cleaning
settings.

“HVy” (Heavy Soil, 4 hours)
“MEd” (Medium soil, 3 hours)
“LITE” ( Light Soil, 2 hours)
Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs

the self-cleaning time.

5. After four seconds, the oven will start cleaning.

self-cleaning settings.

“HVy” (Heavy Soil, 4 hours)
“MEd” (Medium Soil, 3 hours)
“LITE” (Light Soil, 2 hours)
Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs

the self-cleaning time.

6. After four seconds, CLEAN and DELAY will light and
LOCK will flash in the display. When the oven door
latches, LOCK will stop flashing and light continuously to
show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation.
The delay time will display.

During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, the door cannot be opened.
To prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open
when LOCK is displayed.

Smoke and Smells

You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few
times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in
time.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a
broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage the oven.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK
will turn off. The door can then be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove
it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means
the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be re­moved during the next clean cycle.

If oven rack was left in the oven and does not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe rack and rack support

with a small amount of vegetable oil to make it easier to
move.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not

affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean
cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect perfor-

mance.

Notes:

• If the oven door is left open, DOOR will flash in the
display and a signal will beep until the door is closed
and the Clean pad is pressed again.

• If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the
Clean pad and the Autoset pad, the program will
automatically return to the previous display.

•A cooling fan will turn on during the self-clean cycle and
will automatically turn off after the clean cycle when the
oven has cooled. If it does not operate, contact an
authorized servicer.

• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is
forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.
