Use and Care Manual

Before a Self-Clean Cycle
If your range has this knob, it has a self-cleaning oven. Follow these
instructions.
We recommend venting your kitchen with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood
during the first self-clean cycle.
Remove broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware
and any aluminum foil from the oven.
NOTE:
 If your oven is equipped with shiny, silver-
colored oven racks, we recommend
to remove them before you begin the
self-clean cycle. They may remain in the
oven during the self-clean cycle, but they will
darken, lose their luster and become hard to
slide.
 If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-
coated oven racks, they may be left in the
oven during the self-clean cycle.
Soil on the front frame of the range and outside
the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned
by hand. Clean these areas with hot water,
soap-filled or plastic scouring pads or cleansers
such as Soft Scrub
®
. Rinse well with clean water
and dry.
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material
of the oven door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain
intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed,
replace it.
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place
and the oven light is off.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during
the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds
to another well-ventilated room.
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven
bottom.
How to Set the Oven for Self-Cleaning
Follow the directions in the Before a Self Clean
Cycle section.
Latch the door.
NOTE: Never force the latch. If the oven is too
hot, you will not be able to slide the latch. Allow
the oven to cool.
Turn knob to Self Clean position
The self-clean cycle will automatically begin.
While the oven is self-cleaning, the self clean
light will be on.
The oven shuts off automatically when the
clean cycle is complete, and the self clean light
will be off.
Slide the latch handle to the left as far as it
will go and open the door.
Never force the latch handle.
Forcing the handle will damage the door lock
mechanism.
FIRE HAZARD: Wipe grease and heavy soil from oven before self-cleaning. Failure to do so
may result in an oven fire.
CAUTION
Never place cooking utensils, baking stones, foil, or any other items on the oven floor. Even
items rated for high temperature may permanently adhere to oven bottom or cause heat
damage to the oven, flooring or items in storage drawer.
