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.

To Delay Start Self-Clean:
Before delay starting Self-Clean, make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day. See �Clock� section. 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. 2. Press STOP TIME. 3. Press the number pads to enter the time of day to stop. 4. Press START. The start time is automatically calculated and displayed. The door will automatically lock and �DOOR LOCKED,� �DELAY,� and the stop time will also appear on the display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools. When the start time is reached, the lower oven will automatically turn on. When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, �End� will appear on the lower oven display and �DOOR LOCKED� will disappear. 5. Press any pad or open the lower oven door to clear the oven display.

Prepare Oven:
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" (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.

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 30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil. Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. Do not wipe down any 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 combination oven models, the upper oven will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

To Stop Self-Clean any time:
Press LOWER OVEN CANCEL. If the lower oven temperature is too high, the door will remain locked. It will not unlock until the lower oven cools.

General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

STAINLESS STEEL (on some models)
