How Self-Clean mode works: The oven is
heated in graduated steps to a preset high
temperature. During this process, food soil is
burned off, leaving some white ash residue.
Set in combination with Delayed Start
feature, cleaning the oven can be programmed
to start and stop while you sleep. Refer to
Delayed Start feature on page 25.
For safety purposes, the door automatically
locks during cleaning and unlocks when the
cavity has cooled completely. Should you stop
this mode after beginning Self-Clean mode,
the door will still remain locked until the
temperature inside the oven has cooled to
below 150˚C. The oven lights are always deac-
tivated in this mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For a double oven, only
one oven may be in Self-Clean mode at a
time and the other oven cannot be used for
cooking.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Remove all oven racks
and rack guides before using the Self-Clean
mode. They will discolor if left in the oven
during this feature. Refer to Oven Racks on
page 14.
When hand cleaning a spot, use only mild
abrasive cleaners or plastic scrubbers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not allow food with
high sugar or acid content, such as fruit juice,
milk and tomatoes, to remain on the porcelain
enamel surface. Wipe up immediately with a
dry towel. Failure to do so may cause a perma-
nent dull spot.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never use oven cleaners.
They are not necessary with Self-Clean mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE: During the first self-clean
cycle, some smoke and odor is normal as
remaining oils left over from the initial break-in
period will finish burning off.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is possible to hear a
popping or crackling noise during the opera-
tion of the oven(s). These normal sounds are
caused by the expansion and contraction of
the metal surfaces during the heating and
cooling of the oven(s). Running the oven(s)
through a self-clean cycle will help with the
level of these noises.
Do not use any commercial oven cleaners
or oven liner protective coatings on or
around any part of the oven.
The oven gasket is important for a good
seal. Do not hand clean, rub, puncture or
remove this gasket.
During Self-Clean mode, exterior surfaces
may get hotter than usual, therefore,
children should be kept away.
