Self-Cleaning (Upper oven only)
What to Expect during Cleaning:
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those used in normal cooking.
Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.
Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause more smoke and odor than usual.
This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning
cycle.
Self-Clean Cycle time length
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils and a 3
hour cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen
area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or
exhaust hood during the Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal
odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.
