How the Cycle Works

RANGE CARE
Self-Cleaning Cycle
(on some models)

WARNING

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil. Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has cooled completely could result in the glass breaking.

To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. DOOR LOCKED/CLEANING light will flash until the door is closed. 1. Push in and turn the oven control knob to CLEAN. The door will lock within 6 seconds, and OVEN ON and OVEN HEATING indicator lights will come on. If the door does not lock, it will try to lock for 1 minute. If the door fails to lock, the self-cleaning cycle will be canceled and an error code will be displayed. 2. Press the �up� or �down� arrow pads to select a clean time between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes. During the last 30 minutes of the self-cleaning cycle the oven will start to cool down. The OVEN HEATING light will turn off and �COOL� appears in the display. Once the oven goes below the locked temperature, the OVEN ON light flashes and DOOR LOCKED/CLEANING light turns off when door unlocks. 3. Turn the oven control knob to OFF when finished cleaning. The OVEN ON light turns off and the time of day appears in the display.

Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
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. Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. See �Oven Vent(s)� section. Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted. EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES

Prepare Oven:
s

Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven. Remove any foil from the oven because it may burn or melt, damaging the oven. Remove oven racks to keep them shiny and easy to slide. See �General Cleaning� section for more information. Hand clean inside door edge and the 1½ in. (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being careful not to move or bend the gasket. This area does not get hot enough during self-cleaning to remove soil. Do not let water, cleaner, etc. enter slots on door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area. Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance.

(on some models)
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire appliance is cool. These spills may affect the finish.

Glass cleaner, mild liquid cleaner or non-abrasive scrubbing pad: Gently clean around the model and serial number plate because scrubbing may remove numbers.
