Prepare Oven:
s s s 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.

2. Press START. The oven door will automatically lock and �DOOR LOCKED� or �LOCKED,� the start time and stop time will appear on the oven display. On some models, the clean time will appear on the oven display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools. When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, �End� will appear on the oven display and �DOOR LOCKED� or �LOCKED� will disappear from the display. 3. Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven display.

To Delay Start Self-Clean:

Also, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. 1. Press CLEAN. Press the number pads to set a clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes. On some models, press the HR and MIN �up� or �down� arrow pads (buttons) to set clean time. 2. Press STOP TIME. On some models, press DELAY START. 3. Press the number pads to enter the time of day to stop. On some models, press the HR and MIN �up� or �down� arrow pads (buttons) until the correct time shows on the display. 4. Press START. The start time is automatically calculated and displayed. The door will automatically lock and �DOOR LOCKED� or �LOCKED� and �DELAY� and the stop time will also appear on the display (on some models). The door will not unlock until the oven cools.

How the Cycle Works
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, however the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours and 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours and 30 minutes to 4 hours and 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. The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle. On Canadian models, the rear surface elements will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin. 1. Press CLEAN. Press the number pads to set a clean time other than 3 hours and 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes. On some models, press the HR and MIN �up� or �down� arrow pads (buttons) to set clean time.

To Stop Self-Clean any time:
Press CANCEL OFF. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools. On some models, if the oven temperature is too high after selfcleaning, then �cln,� �TIMED,� �ON,� �cool� and �LOCKED� will appear on the display until the oven completely cools.
