prepare the oven for cleaning.

Clean Time is displayed.
Clean Time is normally 3 hours.
You can change the Clean Time to
anywhere between 2 and 4 hours,
depending on how dirty the oven is.
The self-clean cycle will
automatically begin within a few
seconds and the word "ON" will
appear on the display. When the
oven heats to a high temperature,
the word "LOCK" will be
displayed and, a short time later,
the door latch handle will be
locked in position. It will not be
possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below
the lock temperature.
The oven will smoke the first time
you use the self-clean cycle even
though you have wiped up any
excessive soil. This is normal and
should stop in about 10 minutes.
To help control the smoke, turn on
the exhaust fan over the range
when you use the self-clean cycle
the first time.
After a Clean Cycle
When the clean cycle is finished, the
word "CLEAN" will go out in the
display and the oven will begin to
cool. When the oven temperature
has fallen below the locking
temperature (about 20-30 minutes
after the word "CLEAN" goes out
at the end of the clean cycle), the
word "LOCK" goes out and the
door can be opened.
Step 6: When the LOCK light is
off, slide latch handle to the left as
far as it will go and open the door.
Never force the latch handle. Wait
until the word "LOCK" goes out
in the display. Forcing the latch
handle may damage the door lock.
After a clean cycle, you may notice
some white ash in the oven. Just
wipe it up with a damp cloth.
If white spots remain, remove
them with a soap-filled steel wool
pad. Be sure to 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, the cycle may
be repeated.
