SETTING SELF-CLEAN CYCLE TIME LENGTH
The SELF CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature.
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-
clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool
down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes
about one hour. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually
take about 4 hours to complete.
*It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light
soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle
for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
To set the controls for a 3 hour Self-Cleaning cycle
to start immediately and shut off automatically
1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day
and the oven door is closed.
2. Press SELF CLEAN. "CLn" and "3:00" HR will show
in the display. The control will automatically clean for
a 3 hour period (default self-cleaning cycle time).
NOTE
If a 2 or 4 hour clean time is desired, press 2 0 0 for 2
hours or press 4 0 0 for a 4 hours clean time. Set the
cleaning time based on the amount of soil: Light, medium
or heavy (*see above).
3. Press START. "DOOR LOCKED" and "CLEAN" will
fl ash and the letters "CLn" will remain ON in the
display.
4. As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven
door lock will begin to close automatically. Once
the door has been locked the "DOOR LOCKED"
indicator light will stop fl ashing and remain ON. Also,
the oven icon will appear in the display.
NOTE
Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed
1. "HOT" will appear in the display. The time of day, the
"DOOR LOCKED" and "CLEAN" will remain in the
display.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately
1 HOUR, and the "DOOR LOCKED" is no longer
displayed, the oven door can then be opened.

cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fi re in the oven:
