it off.
NOTE: The surface burners must be
turned off prior to the self-clean start
time.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the number pads, enter the

Using the number pads, enter the time

After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the
oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a
soap-filled scouring pad and 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,
repeat the cycle.
