• Use a damp cloth to clean the inside door edge and the 11/2″ (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.
• Wipeout 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.
• Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.
• Remove all items from the storage drawer.
  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.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to powdery ash.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool, damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press the Cancel keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked, and “cool” and “(lock symbol) ” will be displayed. The cooling fan may continue to run.
When “locked” shows in the display, the door of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when “locked” is displayed.

Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic control requires a 12-hour delay before another Self-Cleaning cycle can be started.
The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time (on some models)
The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 15 or 30-minute increments. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for
light soil and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the cycle is for cool down.
To Self-Clean:

1. Press SELF CLEAN.

2. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” keypad to enter the desired Self-Cleaning cycle time.

3. Press START.
   The oven door will automatically lock. The DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining will also be displayed.

4. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will turn off.

5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.

To exit the Self-Cleaning cycle before completed, press CANCEL. The door will unlock once the oven cools.
