Use and Care Guide

The interior of your new oven can be cleaned manually or by using Steam Clean or Self Clean modes.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and
should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.
Manual Cleaning
Do not use oven cleaners (unless certified for self-
cleaning oven), abrasive cleaners, strong liquid
cleansers, steel wool, scouring pads, or cleaning
powders on the interior of the oven. Clean with a mild
soap and water or vinegar and water solution. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning
surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature.
Cleaning the Range – Interior
Racks
All racks can be washed with warm, soapy water.
Enameled (not shiny) racks can be left in the cavity
during self clean.
Racks may be more difficult to slide, especially after
a self-clean. Put some vegetable oil on a soft cloth or
paper towel and rub onto the left and right edges.
NOTE: Usingothercookingoilswillcauseadiscoloring
or a rust like color residue on the racks and cavity sides.
To clean this residue, use a soap and water or a vinegar
and water solution. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
Self Clean Mode
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
3 hour self-clean cycle. For a heavily soiled oven, run
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.
3. Remove all items other than self-clean (black)
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.
4. Close the door.
5. Press the Clean pad, select Self Clean and then
press Start/Enter.
You can not 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.
To Stop a Self-Clean Cycle
Press the Cancel/Off pad. Wait until the oven has cooled
below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You
will not be able to open the door right away unless the
oven has cooled below the locking temperature.
The surface units are automatically disabled during the
self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls
are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle.
Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use
the surface units.
Steam Clean Mode
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.
3. Pour one cup of water onto the bottom of the oven.
4. Close the door.
5. Press the Clean pad, select Steam Clean and
then press Start/Enter.
Do not open the door during the 30 minute steam clean
as this will decrease the steam clean performance. 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.
