Answer:

Before Self-Clean

1. Remove all oven racks and rack guides, as they will discolor if left in the oven during self-clean.
   • Refer to Remove Oven Racks and Rack Guides.
   • Remove the bake stone, if in place. Refer to Bake Stone Kit Use and Care Information for cleaning instructions.
2. Wipe out the oven cavity before running self-clean to help reduce smoke and odors. See Clean Blue Porcelain Oven Interior for more information.
3. For double ovens, note that only one oven can be in self-clean mode at a time, and the other oven cannot be used during this time.

During Self-Clean

• The oven door locks as soon as the self-clean cycle starts.
• The oven door unlocks during the cool down once temperatures have reached a safe level.
  • The amount of time it takes for the oven to cool to a safe level varies.
  • Running the unit before entering self-clean and ambient room temperature may impact cool down time.
• The control panel counts down the time remaining for the clean to complete.
• Control panel shows three times:
  • Far left is the time remaining.
  • Middle is the time of day when the cycle will be complete.
  • Far right shows the current time of day.
• Self-clean time can be adjusted. See Adjusting Oven Self-Clean Time Length.
• Surface burners are safe to use while the oven is self-cleaning.
• During self-clean, exterior surfaces may get hotter than usual, so children should be kept away.
• Unit will chime when self-clean is completed.

Cancel Cleaning

• Cancel self-clean at any time by turning the unit off.
• If canceled, the door stays locked until the unit cools to a safe temperature level.
• Turning a unit off during self-clean is discouraged. Damage can occur if self-clean does not complete.

Frequency

• How often a product needs self-cleaning varies based on use.
• Run self-clean as often as needed; typically it is not necessary more than a few times per year.
• For light debris, follow the other cleaning tips outlined in the Wolf Cleaning Reference.
• If self-clean does not clean the oven, see How to Clean Wolf Blue Porcelain Oven Interior.
