OVEN FINISHES / CLEANING METHODS

The entire oven can be safely cleaned with a soapy sponge, rinsed 

and dried. If stubborn soil remains, follow the recommended 

cleaning methods below.
•  Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job.
•  Rub metal finishes in the direction of the grain.
•  Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
•  Rinse thoroughly with a minimum of water so it does not 

drip into door slots.

•  Dry to avoid water marks.
The cleaners listed below indicate types of products to use and 

are not being endorsed. Use all products according to package 

directions.

AUTOMATIC SELF-CLEANING

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.

Failure to do so can result in burns.

This oven features a self-cleaning function that eliminates the 

need to manually scrub the oven interior. During self-cleaning, the 

oven uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive 

to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure 

to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move 

birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.
•  Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self-Cleaning 

cycle to help get rid of heat, odors and smoke.

•  It is common to see smoke and/or an occasional flame-up 

during the Self-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.

•  Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. 

Air must be able to move freely. See “Oven Vents” on page 13.

•  Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket.
•  The door latch is automatically activated after selecting the 

Self-Clean cycle. “AUTO LOCK” will appear in the display. 

This ensures that the oven door cannot be opened while the 

oven interior is at clean temperatures.

•  The oven is preset for a 2.5 hour clean cycle; however, the time 

can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil 

and between 3.0 hours and 3.5 hours for average to heavy soil.

•  Clean mode stops automatically at the end of the set cleaning 

time.
