Care and maintenance
9 WARNING
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where appliances are in use.
• During the self-clean cycle, exterior surfaces may
become hotter than usual. Parts of the appliance
may become potentially harmful to children, and
to persons who lack adult knowledge of
appliances and lack adult reactions to potentially
harmful conditions. Keep these individuals away
during self-clean and while the appliance is in use.
• The elimination of soil during self-cleaning may
facilitate the emission of small amounts of
chemicals or other substances that may be
harmful upon sufficient exposure. To minimize
exposure to these substances, provide good
ventilation with an open window, or use a
ventilation fan or hood.
• For the self-cleaning cycle of your range, remove
small animals and birds from the kitchen and
surrounding areas. Open a nearby window for
additional ventilation. During self-clean, fumes are
released that may be harmful.

About self-clean
• The self-cleaning mode of your new range features
pyrolytic self-cleaning. When set to the self clean
mode, the oven reaches a high temperature,
approximately 850°F (454°C), that burns off the food
soil.
• When the oven is set for self clean, the standard
cooktop burners and the electric griddle and grill may
be used. The burners having the ExtraLow
®
feature
cannot be used.
• It is common to see smoke and/or flames during the
clean cycle, depending on the content and amount of
soil remaining in the oven. If a flame persists, turn off
the oven and allow it to cool before opening the door
to wipe up the excessive food soil.
• At the end of the clean cycle, some gray ash or
burned residue may remain inside the oven. This is a
mineral deposit that does not burn or melt. The
amount of ash depends on how heavily soiled the
oven was before it was cleaned. When the oven is
cold, it is easily removed using a damp paper towel,
sponge, or cloth.
Before self-cleaning the oven
DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS – No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
To reduce flare ups and excess smoke wipe out puddles of
grease and any loose soil that can be easily removed.
Remove any soil that is outside the door seal area. This
appliance is designed to clean the oven interior and the
portion of the door that is inside the oven. The outer
edges of the door and the frame surrounding the front of
the oven are not in the cleaning zone. Wipe this area
clean.
BEFORE SETTING THE OVEN TO SELF-CLEAN
• Remove all utensils.
• Remove racks and rack guides.
• Clean the oven front frame and outer door edges.
• Wipe up large spillovers and grease.
• Be sure the light bulbs and glass covers are in place.
• Turn on the ventilator hood above the range and leave
it on until the oven has completed the self-clean cycle.
