At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting or faint white spots can result. This will not affect cooking performance. Burn Hazard Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Keep children away from oven during Self-Cleaning cycle. Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room. Self-clean the oven before it becomes heavily soiled. Heavy soil results in longer cleaning and more smoke. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors, and smoke. Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely. Depending on your model, see "Oven Vent" or "Oven Vents" section. Do not clean, rub, damage or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Prepare Oven: ■ Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware 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" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain 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. Prepare Cooktop and Storage Drawer (on some models): ■ 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. The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash. The oven is preset for a 2 hour 30 minute clean cycle; however, the time can be changed. There are 5 levels of clean. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil. Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired cleaning level. CLEANING LEVEL TOTAL CLEANING TIME (includes a 30 minute cool down time) 1 (Quick) 2 hours 30 minutes 2 3 hours 3 (Regular) 3 hours 30 minutes 4 4 hours 5 (Maxi) 4 hours 30 minutes 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. The oven light 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 SELF CLEAN. To set a clean time other than 3 hours 30 minutes, press SELF CLEAN until the desired time is reached. The clean time can be set between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes. 21
