Caring for the Lower Oven

Self Clean

The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot temperatures
to clean the oven cavity. While running the Self Clean
cycle, you may notice smoking or an odor. This is
normal, especially if the oven is heavily soiled.
During the Self Clean cycle, the kitchen should be
well-ventilated to minimize the odors from cleaning.
CAUTION
• DO NOT leave small children unattended near
the appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the
outside of the oven can become very hot to
touch.
• If you have pet birds, move them to another
well-ventilated room. The health of some birds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the Self Clean cycle of any oven.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or
any other part of the oven with aluminum foil or
any other material. Doing so will destroy heat
distribution, produce poor baking results and
cause permanent damage to the oven interior
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior surface of
the oven).
• DO NOT force the door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use care
when opening the oven door after the Self
Clean cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when
opening the door to allow hot air or steam to
escape. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
Before Starting Self Clean
• Remove the water tank, oven racks, broiler pan,
broiler grid, all cookware, aluminum foil or any other
material from the oven.
Leaving items in the oven will cause permanent
damage to the oven interior.
• If you don't remove the water tank from the oven,
a beep sounds, and the Self Clean cycle does not
start.
• The kitchen should be well ventilated to minimize
the odors from cleaning.
• Wipe any heavy spillovers on the bottom of the
oven.
• Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
• The oven light cannot be turned on during a Self
Clean cycle. The oven light cannot be turned on
until the oven temperature has cooled below
500 ˚F (260 ˚C) after a Self Clean cycle is complete.
NOTE
• Remove oven racks and accessories before
starting the Self Clean cycle.
• If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during
the Self Clean cycle, they will discolor and
become difficult to slide in and out.
• Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot
soapy water. Rinse well.
• Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material
of the oven door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion.
• It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If
you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace
it.
• It is normal for the fan to operate during the Self
Clean cycle.
