48 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
• It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot
during a Self Clean cycle. Avoid touching the
door, window or oven vent area during a Self
Clean cycle.
• Do not leave small children unattended near the
appliance. During the Self Clean cycle, the
outside of the oven can become very hot to the
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.
NOTE
• 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 ℉ (260 ℃) after a Self Clean cycle is
complete.
• 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.
• As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal
and will not damage the oven.
• You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it off with a damp cloth or a soap-filled
steel wool pad after the oven cools. If the oven is
not clean after one Self Clean cycle, repeat the
cycle.
• If oven racks were left in the oven and do not
slide smoothly after a Self Clean cycle, wipe
racks and rack supports with a small amount of
vegetable oil to make them glide more easily.
• After a Self Clean cycle, fine lines may appear in
the porcelain because it went through heating
and cooling. This is normal and will not affect
performance.
• The Self Clean cycle cannot be started if the
Lock Out feature is active.
• Once the Self Clean cycle is set, the oven door
locks automatically. You will not be able to open
the oven door until the oven is cooled. The lock
releases automatically.
• Once the door has been locked, the lock
indicator light stops flashing and remains on.
Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to
activate.
• If the clock is set for a 12-hour display (default)
the Delayed Self Clean can never be set to start
more than 12 hours in advance.
• After the oven is turned off, the convection fan
keeps operating until the oven has cooled down.
