wool, or scouring pads on the interior of the oven. For
soils on the oven bottom and other enameled surfaces,

care not to apply any abrasive cleaners or sponges to
Steam Clean Mode
The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from
your oven at a lower temperature than Self Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature:
1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven.
3. Pour one cup of water onto the bottom of the oven.
4. Close the door.
Self Clean Mode
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using the Self Clean
Mode. Self Clean uses very high temperatures to clean
the oven interior. For a moderately soiled oven, run a
3 hour self-clean cycle. For a heavily soiled oven, run
a 5 hour self-clean cycle. Only self-clean (black) racks
and grates may remain in the oven during the self-clean
cycle. All other items, including nickel plated (silver) racks,
should be removed. If nickel plated (silver) racks are left
in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the racks will tarnish.
If either type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean
cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide. See the
Oven Racks section for instructions on how to improve.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
To use the Self Clean feature:
1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven and
interior door.
3. Remove all items other than self-clean (black)
racks and grates, if desired. See Cleaning the
Cooktop to determine if your grates may be self-
cleaned and for important details regarding grate
placement.

will not be able to open the door right away unless the
oven has cooled below the locking temperature.
On Some Models:
The surface units are automatically disabled during the
self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls
are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle.
Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use
the surface units.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
