after power is restored, set Self Clean again.

may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are
touched before they have cooled.
Do not force the oven door open when
self-clean is active. This can damage the automatic door-
locking system. Use caution when opening the door after self-
clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.
