How the Cycle Works
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.
■ Heavy soil accumulations may require multiple cleaning
cycles.
■ The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute Self-Cleaning
cycle. The oven will cool for an additional 30 minutes after
cleaning is completed.
To Use Self-Clean:
Turn the Mode and Temperature Knobs to the Clean position.
The knob indicator lights will illuminate to show that a selection
has been made.
The Start button indicator light will blink to prompt for action.
Press the Start button to begin the cleaning cycle.
The door(s) will lock.
NOTE: The oven will cool for an additional 30 minutes after
cleaning is completed.
To Start Self-Clean:
1. Turn the Mode knob to the Clean position.
2. Turn the Temperature knob to the Clean position.
3. Press the Start Button.
NOTE: All operations must be completed within 30 seconds
or the unit will return to Idle Mode.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.
To Stop Self-Clean Any Time:
Move the Temperature knob to OFF position to stop self-clean. If
the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It
will not unlock until the oven cools.
Once the oven has completely cooled:
■ Remove ash with a damp cloth.
■ If soil remains after wiping, that means the length of the Self-
Cleaning cycle was not long enough for the amount of soil in
the oven. Repeat the Self-Cleaning cycle if desired or the soil
will be removed during the next Self-Cleaning cycle.
■ To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
■ The oven lights will not light during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
■ On 48" (121.9 cm) ranges, only one oven can self-clean at a
time. If one oven is self-cleaning, the other oven cannot be
set or turned on.
NOTE: The oven has a dual speed cooling fan motor. During self-
cleaning, the fan(s) will operate at their highest speed to increase
airow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s).
An increase of noise may be noticeable during and after the Self-
Cleaning cycle until the oven cools.
