• During Self Clean, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate
odors associated with Self Clean. Odors will lessen with use.
• It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up during the Self
Clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of soil remaining in
the oven. If a flame persists, turn off the oven and allow it to cool before
opening the door to wipe up the excessive food soil.
• As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and
contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven.
• Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be
able to move freely.
• Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket.
• The oven light does not operate during Self Clean mode.
• Clean mode stops automatically at the end of the set cleaning time.
• The oven door will lock and the display will show the Lock icon when using
the Self Clean mode.
• When the oven has cooled down to a safe temperature, the oven door
will unlock.
• Do not force the oven door open when the Lock icon is displayed. The
oven door will remained locked until the oven temperature has cooled.
Forcing the door open will damage the door.
• For double-oven models, Self Clean can only be run in one oven at a time.
BEFORE A SELF CLEAN CYCLE
• Remove all utensils and bakeware.
• Remove non-porcelain oven racks. If chromed racks are left in the oven
during the Self Clean cycle, they will permanently lose the shiny finish and
change to a dull dark finish.
• Be sure oven interior lights are off and the light bulb covers are in place.
• Wipe up any grease and soft soils with paper towels. Excess grease will
cause flames and smoke inside the oven during self-cleaning.
• Some areas of the oven such as the oven door edge, oven door window,
oven front frame, and up to 1½" (2-3 cm) inside the frame do not get hot
enough during the cleaning cycle for soil to burn away, and must be
cleaned by hand BEFORE the cycle begins. Clean using a soapy sponge or
plastic scrubber and a solution of detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry
all areas thoroughly.
• Do not rub the oven door gasket.
