Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Using the self-cleaning upper and lower ovens. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the heating element. Doing so could damage the element. Before a Clean Cycle We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle. Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven. NOTE: ■ If your oven is equipped with shiny, silver-colored oven racks, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle. ■ If your oven is equipped with gray porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Soil on the front frame of the oven and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry. Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it. Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom. Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well-ventilated room. How to Set the Upper/Lower Oven for Cleaning The oven doors must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly. Touch the SELF CLEAN HI/LO pad once for a 5-hour clean time or twice for a 3-hour clean time. When LOCKED goes off, you will be able to open the doors. ■ The word LOCKED will flash and the word door will display if you set the clean cycle and forget to close the oven doors. A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for use when cleaning small, contained spills. A self-clean time of 5 hours is recommended for a dirtier oven. ■ To stop a clean cycle, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. When LOCKED goes off, indicating the ovens have cooled below the locking temperature, you will be able to open the doors. If a time other than 5 hours or 3 hours is needed, use the number pads and enter the desired clean time. You can change the clean time to any time between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is. Touch the START pad. The upper and lower oven doors lock automatically. The display will show the clean time remaining. It will not be possible to open the oven doors until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and LOCKED goes off in the control display. You can set a clean cycle in both ovens at the same time; however, they will not self-clean at the same time. The last oven set will automatically delay its start until the end of the first oven's clean cycle. When either oven is set to self-clean, both oven doors will lock. The ovens cannot be used when one of the ovens is set to self-clean. 20
