Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
Oven Interior
The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually
or by using the Steam Clean or Self Clean modes
(on some models).
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool,
then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, strong
liquid cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with mild soap

with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning
surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature
and not in direct sunlight.
Steam Clean Mode (on some models)
The Steam Clean feature is for cleaning light soil from
your oven at a lower temperature than Self Clean.
To use the Steam Clean feature:
1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven.

Clean cycle. At the end of the Steam Clean cycle, soak
up the remaining water, and wipe the moisture-softened
soil from the oven walls and door.
Self Clean Mode (on some models)
Read Self-Cleaning Oven Safety Instructions at the
beginning of this manual before using the Self Clean
Mode. Self Clean uses very high temperatures to clean
the oven interior. For a moderately soiled oven, run a

a 5 hour self-clean cycle. Only self-clean (black) racks
and grates may remain in the oven during the self-clean
cycle. All other items, including nickel plated (silver)
racks, should be removed. If nickel plated (silver) racks
are left in the oven during a self-clean cycle, the racks
will tarnish. If either type of rack is left in the oven during
a self-clean cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide.
See the Oven Racks section for instructions on how to
improve.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
To use the Self Clean feature:
1. Start with the oven at room temperature.
2. Wipe excess grease and soils from the oven and
interior door.

racks and grates, if desired. See Cleaning the
Cooktop to determine if your grates may be self-
cleaned and for important details regarding grate
placement.

and 5 hours, and then press Start.
You cannot open the door during the self-clean cycle.
The door will remain locked after the self-clean cycle until
the oven cools below the unlocking temperature. At the
end of the self-clean cycle, allow the oven to cool and
wipe any ash out of the oven.

vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth. When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they
are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration
and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool,
then clean and rinse.
Oven Racks
All oven racks may be cleaned by hand with an abrasive
cleaner or steel wool. Self-clean (black) oven racks may
remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Nickel-
plated (silver) racks should not remain in the oven during
the self clean cycle. Doing so will tarnish the racks. If
either type of rack is left in the oven during a self-clean
cycle, the rack may become difficult to slide.
After cleaning the racks, use a soft cloth or paper towel
to rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the left and
right edges of the rack. This will ensure the racks are
easy to slide in and out of the oven
