MAINTENANCE
During the Self Clean cycle, the cooktop elements
and warming drawer cannot be used.
NOTE
•
Remove oven racks and accessories before
starting the Self Clean cycle.
•
If oven racks are left in the oven cavity during
the Self Clean cycle, they will discolor and
become difficult to slide in and out.
•
Clean the frame of the oven and door with hot
soapy water. Rinse well.
•
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.
•
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven
bottom.
•
Make sure that the oven light bulb cover is in
place and the oven light is off.
•
It is normal for the fan to operate during the Self
Clean cycle.
•
The Burner On indicator light turns on when
the knob is turned even if the cooktop element
does not operate.

During Self Clean
•
The Self Clean cycle uses extremely hot
temperatures to clean the oven cavity. While
running the Self Clean cycle, you may notice
smoking or an odor. This is normal, especially if the
oven is heavily soiled.
•
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal
parts expanding and contracting. This is normal
and will not damage the oven.
•
Do not force the oven door open when the lock
is displayed. The oven door remains locked until
the oven temperature has cooled. Forcing the door
open will damage the door.
