Lost manuel, need to use self-cleaning option

Hello, Joan -

Clarification: You are asking about a Frigidaire Gallery model gas stove and how to use the self-cleaning feature for the oven? If so . . .

You will find the instructions here:
https://www.hunker.com/12002208/instructions-for-a-frigidaire-gallery-series-self-cleaning-oven

If you need the user manual for your oven, you can add the model number by choosing Comment and adding the information there, so I or someone else volunteering to answer on Fixya.com can look for and provide the right link for a download of a free manual.

Note: There is more than one Frigidaire Gallery range model numbers made:

Best wishes.

What model Frigidaire oven do you have? Most Frigidaire manuals are available from the manufacturer's site: http://b2b.frigidaire.com/support/manuals.asp or http://www.frigidaire.com/Owner-Center/Product-Support-Manuals/ . Note: these manuals are in the PDF format; you will need Adobe Reader or a similar program to read them.

For example the User's manual for the FGGF3054MW range (with convection oven) is available at http://manuals.frigidaire.com/prodinfo_pdf/Springfield/316901218en.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Hello Sylvia Fairbank - I found the manual on the Frigidaire website. Here is the manufacturer link and hope you find all the information that you need. If for any reason you have difficulties pulling up the requested information, I recommend taking off the last letter of the model number so you can pull up the data.

Enter the model number into the search box at

needs a new control. Easy to replace.

Make shure every thing is out of the oven, and that the door is well locked, then hit the cleaning button.

the oven will clean itself with high temperatures.

HEre is a manual for a frigider oven, should be not too different from yours.

Door lock motor has probably failed.....Self clean on many
ovens can be a self destruct mode. Door latch motors, sensor
probes and even the electronic controls can be destroyed by
this operation. On many freestanding stoves the lock motor is located in the right rear (looking from the front) with a long rod connected to the lock. remove the motor and unhook the rod from the motor cam. Sometimes bending a coat hangar into a hook and sliding from the right side into the lock you can unlock the door.

THERE SHOULD BE A KNOB SELECTON ON THE MAIN TEMPERATURE CONTROL OR SOME HAVE A SWITCH. OR .I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS ON FRIGIDARES ... AND PLEASE DONT HOLD IT AGAINST ME. I WILL SAY THAT ALL SELF CLEANING STOVES DO IS TURN BOTH YOUR BROILER AND OVEN BURNER ON HI AND "BURNS OFF THE SPILLAGE OR DIRT" IN AN ALOTTED TIME. AS A REPAIR MAN I NEVER ADVISE USING THEM ... THEY CAUSE ALOT OF HEAT AND DONT REALLY WORK ALL THAT WEEL IF THERE IS ANY SIGNIFICANT SPILLAGE TO CLEAN ANYWAY.
