Setting the Oven Control for Self-Cleaning

time can be set for 2 hours of cleaning for light soiling, or up to 4 hours for heavy soiling. Use 3 hours for normal cleaning.
NOTE: The self-clean cycle can only be started from the OFF position, not from the BAKE or BROIL position.

closed, slide the latch
handle to the right as

(Never force the latch handle or you could damage the
locking mechanism.)
