• Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.

Prepare Range

• Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware, and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks, and aluminum foil, and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 a powdery ash.
• Once the oven has completely cooled, remove the 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 the “DOOR LOCKED” indicator light 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 the “DOOR LOCKED” indicator light 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 and 4 hours. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil, 3 hours for medium soil, and 4 hours for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the cycle is for cooldown.

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

Steam Cleaning (on some models)

IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners or any other additives with Steam Clean.
The Steam Clean feature is designed for light oven cavity bottom cleaning. Use the Steam Clean feature as soon as possible after spills occur. The longer a spill sits and dries in the oven, the more difficult it may be to remove.
Allow the range to cool to room temperature before using the Steam Clean feature. If your oven cavity is above 170°F (77°C), “HOT” will appear in the display and the Steam Clean feature will not activate until it cools down.

• Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity.
• For best results, pour 12 oz (355 mL) of distilled or filtered water onto the oven bottom.
• The Steam Clean feature will take a total of 50 minutes. “End” will appear in the display at the end of the cycle.

IMPORTANT : Since the water in the oven bottom is hot, do not open the oven door during the Steam Clean cycle.
Press the Cancel keypad at any time to end the cycle. The display will return to the time of day.

Helpful Hints

• Once the Steam Clean cycle is complete, remove all remaining water and debris in the bottom of the oven with a sponge or cloth.
• Wipe any remaining moisture from the oven door interior, oven cavity interior sides, and cooktop.
• Use a soft brush or nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. This may help with more stubborn stains.
• If any soil remains, run a second Steam Clean cycle to help loosen debris for easier removal.
• Use the Steam Clean on small spills such as cheese or sauce from pizza or snacks, or drips from casseroles.
• Food spills containing sugar, proteins, or starches may require vigorous scrubbing to remove most of the debris.
• It is recommended to use distilled or filtered water, as tap water may leave mineral deposits on the oven bottom. Use a cloth soaked with vinegar or lemon juice to remove any mineral deposits that may be left after the Steam Clean cycle.

Griddle or Grill/Griddle (on some models)

*For WFGS7530R:**
To Use the Griddle Accessory:

1. Locate the griddle over the center burner on the grates as shown. The locating feet on the bottom of the griddle will engage the grate tines to keep the griddle from sliding.
2. Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep food from sticking. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue on the griddle that is hard to remove.
3. Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes. Preheating the griddle slowly will ensure even heat distribution and will avoid warping the griddle.
4. For cooking, set the center burner to the medium setting for best performance.
   NOTE : It is recommended to use a griddle on the center burner only.

Cleaning the Griddle:
For stuck-on food, use a mild scrubbing sponge or brush with a mild soap to remove and rinse with water. Dry the remaining water to reduce the chance of rusting.

*For MFGS8030R:**
To Use the Grill/Griddle Accessory:

1. Locate the grill/griddle on the left side grate as shown. Depending on the food being cooked, the grill or griddle side can be used for cooking.
2. Before each use, brush on a thin layer of cooking oil to keep food from sticking. Cooking sprays may leave a sticky residue on the grill/griddle that is hard to remove.
3. For cooking on the left side of the cooktop – preheat the grill/griddle for 5 minutes with each Left Rear and Left Front burner on a High or Medium High setting. After preheating is complete, adjust the burner’s heat setting as necessary depending on the food being cooked.
4. For cooking on the center of the cooktop – preheat the grill/griddle for 5-10 minutes on high. After preheating is complete, adjust the burner heat setting as necessary depending on the food being cooked.

NOTE : Do not use the grill/griddle on the cooktop during or immediately after running the oven cleaning cycle.

Cleaning the Grill/Griddle:

• The grill/griddle is cast iron and should be cleaned and maintained accordingly.
• The grill/griddle is pre-seasoned and ready to use. To prolong your seasoned grill/griddle, avoid using degreasing agents like dish soap or steel wool.? For stuck-on food, use a mild scrubbing sponge or brush to remove & rinse with water.
• Dry the remaining water to reduce the chance of rusting.
• If your seasoning coating on the grill/griddle wears off, re-season the grill/griddle as needed.

Complete Installation (Propane Gas to Natural Gas)

1. Refer to the “Make Gas Connection” section for properly connecting the range to the gas supply.

2. Refer to the “Electronic Ignition System” section for proper burner ignition, operation, and burner flame adjustments. IMPORTANT: You may have to adjust the “LO” setting for each cooktop burner.
