Self-Clean Oven
The self-clean cycle uses above normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the entire oven interior. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps consume normal amounts of smoke. The oven is vented through an opening under the control panel, NOTE: Both ovens cannot be self-cleaned at the same time in double wall oven models. It is normal for flare-ups, smoking or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven. During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning, Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the self-clean oven finish or around any part of the oven as they will damage the finish or parts,

Setting the Controls fora Self-Clean Cycle
1. Close the oven door. 2. Press the Clean pad. � The indicator words CLEAN TIME will flash and the display will show " HR: ". (Double wall oven models will also have a"U" or "L" indicating upper or lower oven.) 3. Press Auto Set (0) pad and "3:00" hours will appear in the display for an average soiled oven. � The cleaning time can be varied depending on the amount of soil. After "3:00" appears in the display, press the number 2 pad and enter "2:00" hours of cleaning for light soil. The number 4 pad will enter "4:00" hours for heavy soil. � Five seconds after entering the cleaning time, the oven door will automatically latch and the cooling fan will come on. � The indicator words LOCK and ON will come on when the door is latched. � The indicator word ON will cycle with the elements as the cleaning temperature is maintained. 4. When the cleaning time has been completed, the indicator words CLEAN and ON will go off. The indicator word LOCK and the cooling fan will remain on until the oven has cooled andthe door has unlocked.

Before Self-Cleaning
Remove broiler pan, all pans and the oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle, Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside the doorgasket) and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive cleaning agent such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. These areas are not exposed to cleaning temperatures andshould becleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle, To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seaI in heat during the clean cycle. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom to prevent excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle. For ease of cleaning, the heating element can be lifted slightly (1 to 1-1/2 inches), Wipe up sugary spillovers and acid spillovers such as lemon juice, tomato sauce or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant, not acid proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acid spills are not wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.

After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the clean cycle, the lock will disengage and the LOCK indicator word will turn off. At this point, the door can be unlocked and opened. Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash which can be removed with a damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle. If the oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement. A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acid or sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle. This is normal and will NOT affect performance.
