Cleaning Method:

  • Self-Cleaning cycle: See the "Self-Cleaning Cycle" or "Clean Cycle" section first.

Self-Cleaning Cycle


Do not touch the oven during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
Keep children away from the oven during Self-Cleaning cycle.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.


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.

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 the "Oven Vent" or "Oven Vents" section in the Quick Start Guide.

Do not clean, rub, damage, or move the oven door gasket.

Prepare Range

  • Remove the broiler pan, grid, cookware and bakeware, all cooking utensils, oven racks, and aluminum foil and, on some models, the temperature probe from the oven.
  • Use a damp cloth to clean inside door edge and the 11/2" (3.8 cm) area around the inside oven cavity frame, being certain not to move or bend the gasket.
  • 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.
  • Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.
  • Remove all items from the storage drawer.

How the Cycle Works


The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.

Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.

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.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press the Cancel keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked and "cool" and "(lock symbol) " will be displayed. The cooling fan may continue to run.

When "locked" shows in the display, the door of the oven cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when "locked" is displayed.

Once the cleaning temperature has been reached, the electronic control requires a 12 hour delay before another Self-Cleaning cycle can be started.

The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Clean Time (on some models)

The Self-Cleaning cycle is time adjustable between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 15 or 30 minute increments. Suggested clean times are 2 hours 30 minutes for light soil and 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the cycle is for cooldown.

To Self-Clean:

  1. Press SELF CLEAN.
  2. Press the Temp/Time "+" or "-" keypad to enter the desired Self-Cleaning cycle time.
  3. Press START.
    The oven door will automatically lock. The DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will be displayed. The time remaining will also be displayed.
  4. When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the DOOR LOCKED and CLEAN indicator lights will turn off.
  5. When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.

To exit the Self-Cleaning cycle before completed, press CANCEL. The door will unlock once the oven cools.

Electronic Ignition System

Initial Lighting and Gas Flame Adjustments

Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the "LITE" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.

This sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to "LITE."

When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking occurs and ignites the gas.

Check Operation of Cooktop Burners

Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the "LITE" position.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the gas line.

If Burners Do Not Light Properly:

  • Turn cooktop control knob to the "OFF" position.
  • Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
  • Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the "open" position.
  • Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner bases.

Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the control knobs to the "OFF" position and contact your dealer or authorized service company for assistance.

Power Failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner, and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired setting.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS


To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:


  • TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

    NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

    NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

  • Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance or on the backguard of an appliance - children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
  • Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
  • Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
  • User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
  • Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
  • This appliance is not intended for storage.
  • Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
  • Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
  • Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
  • Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
  • Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
  • Disconnect power before servicing.
  • This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
  • Proper Installation - The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1-02. In Canada, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
  • Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors or drawers.
  • Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
  • Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This instruction is based on safety considerations.
  • Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
  • Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
  • Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
  • Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
  • Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
  • DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
  • Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat probes from contacting heating elements.

For self-cleaning ranges –

  • Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
