Using High Temperature Clean - Electric Range
How the Cycle Works:
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.
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 the death of certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.
Tips for High-Temperature Self-Cleaning Ovens:
- 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 eliminate heat, odors, and smoke.
- Do not block the oven vent(s) during the Self-Cleaning cycle. Air must be able to move freely.
- Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Prepare the Oven:
- Remove the oven racks, broiler pan, grid, cookware, and bakeware from the oven.
- Remove any foil from the oven.
- Hand-clean inside the door edge and the 1½ in (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 to remove soil during self-cleaning. Do not let water, cleaner, or any other liquid enter slots on the door frame. Use a damp cloth to clean this area.
- Wipe out any loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage.
Prepare the Cooktop and Storage Drawer:
- Remove any plastic items from the cooktop, to prevent melting.
- Remove all items from the storage drawer.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely; otherwise, it will not lock, and the cycle will not begin.
