With pyrolytic self cleaning the oven is heated to a very high temperature. Stubborn soil is burnt off and can be wiped out after self clean is finished.
After the completion of a self-clean cycle, the oven will not allow you to start another self-clean cycle for 24 hours. All surface elements are automatically disabled during Self Clean. This is normal. Once the Self Clean cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, the elements become operable once again.
Preparing self clean
During the elimination of soil during self-cleaning, small amounts of carbon monoxide can be created and the fiberglass insulation could give off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
During the self clean cycle, parts of the appliance may become potentially harmful to persons who lack adult knowledge of appliances and adult reactions to potentially harmful conditions.
The oven heats up to a very high temperature during self cleaning. Opening the door can result in injury.
Remove broiler pans, pots, and other utensils and excess spillage before self-cleaning.
Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc., in the oven during the pyrolytic self-cleaning mode of operation.
The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents.
