Your Oven’s Self Clean Feature
About the Self Clean Cycle
the oven will run better and produce better baked
•
goods when it is clean. During self cleaning, the oven
is heated to very high temperatures which burn off
any deposits on the surfaces of the oven. self cleaning
eliminates the need for manual scrubbing of interior
surfaces. the self clean process takes about three
hours.
it is normal for the oven to emit smoke during the
•
first few self clean cycles. It is also normal for the
oven to emit popping sounds during self cleaning.
these sounds are caused by the expansion and con-
traction of metal surfaces when the oven heats up and
cools down.
the self clean process takes about three hours.
•
self clean mode will not function if the meat probe is
•
connected.
warning
always wipe up excess grease and other food spills with
•
a damp cloth prior to using the self clean cycle. Doing
so will minimize smoke and increase efficiency. see
proper cleaning instructions on this page.
Do not touch the outside surfaces of the oven during the
•
self clean cycle. they will be hot.
items left in the oven during self cleaning will become
•
damaged or damage the oven. see page 25 for
directions on polishing a rack that is left in the oven
during self cleaning.
Care and Cleaning
How to Use the Self Clean Feature
important
on double ovens, the control panel will only allow one oven
chamber to be self cleaned at a time due to the amount
of power consumed. also, the double oven’s computer will
not allow you to cook in one oven while the other is in self
clean mode.
before self cleaning the oven, remove the racks, the
1.
convection filter, all cookware (pots, pans, forks, etc.),
the meat probe, foil and any other loose objects from
the oven chamber. See page 25 for filter cleaning
instructions.
clean soil from the porcelain surfaces of the door
2.
outside of the door gasket. rinse surfaces well with
a solution of vinegar and water, then wipe dry. heav-

scouring pad.
clean the door gasket by dabbing it with a solution of
3.
water and mild soap.

lem, press

and wait approximately
one minute, then close the door. when the door is prop-
erly closed, start the self clean process again.
the display shows the self clean cycle status:
the clean symbol indicates that self clean is
