How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
NOTE: The surface burners must be turned off
prior to the self-clean start time.
Touch the SELF CLEAN STD/LOW pad
once for a 4-hour clean time or
twice for a 3-hour clean time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills. A
self-clean time of 4 hours or longer
is recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 3 hours or
4 hours is needed, use the number
pads and enter the desired clean
time.
You can change the clean time to any
time between 3 hours and 5 hours,
depending on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the DELAY START pad.
Using the number pads, enter the
time of day you want the clean cycle
to start.
Touch the START pad.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the
oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after
the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled or plastic scouring pad and rinse thoroughly
with a vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue
that cannot be removed by the clean
cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean
cycle, repeat the cycle.
The door locks automatically. The
display will show the start time. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the LOCKED light
goes off.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will
be able to open the door.
Touch and hold the RANGE
LOCK-OUT pad for 3 seconds
to turn it off.
s You cannot set the oven for cooking
until the oven is cool enough for the
door to unlock.
s While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
touch the CLOCK pad to display the
time of day. To return to the clean
countdown, touch the SELF CLEAN
STD/LOW pad.
s If the racks become hard to slide, apply
a small amount of cooking oil to a
paper towel and wipe the edges of the
oven racks with the paper towel.
NOTE: Touch and hold the RANGE LOCK-OUT
pad for 3 seconds to turn it off.
