How the Cycle Works To Delay Start Self-Clean: IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 3 hour clean cycle; however, the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and between 3 hours and 4 hours for average to heavy soil.
CERAMIC GLASS (on some models) To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia. Cleaning Method: Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly to avoid streaking and staining. Use affresh™ Cooktop Cleaner Part Number W10355051 with Cooktop Scraper Part Number WA906B to clean and remove stains from the cooktop.
OVEN CAVITY - STANDARD-CLEAN (on some models) Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain and staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. On some models, the oven door can be removed. See “Oven Door” section first. Cleaning Method: ■ Steel-wool pad Oven cleaner: Follow product label instructions ■ Oven Door For normal range use, it is not suggested to remove the oven door.
