Maintaining & Servicing Your Appliance
A. Proper Shutdown Procedure
• Set wall control to OFF on AUTOMATIC / MANUAL SET-
TING screen. Figure 14.1.
• Wall control screen will scroll through the following mes-
sages after setting to OFF.
• Shutdown
• Auto-Clean

Approximately 45 minutes after setting the wall control to
OFF, the appliance should be cool enough to touch. If so,
now you can turn the power switch to OFF and pull the
appliance foward on the rails.
There is an interlock switch next to the power switch that as
you slide the appliance out it will ensure the auto-clean system
and the auger will not run, but the blowers will operate.
After servicing, restart with the AUTO/MANUAL SETTINGS
