*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils and a 3 hour cycle
for average to heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Push _. " " appears in the display.
3. Push the (_ until "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle, or
push the (_ until "2:00" appears in the display for a 2 hour cycle.
4. As soon as the (_ or @ is released, "CLn" appears in the display.
5. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close
automatically and the "LOCK" indicator light will flash. DO NOT open
the door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the
lock to close).
6. The "LOCK" light will glow until the cleaning cycle is completed or
cancelled, and the oven temperature has cooled.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:
1. The time of day will appear in the display window and the "LOCK" light
will continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light
has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after
the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
