Lower Oven Self-Cleanincj Cycle
SELF=CLEAN CYCLE
The SELF CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning
feature.
When used with a Delay Start pad, a delayed
Self-Cleaning
cycle may also be programmed.
The Self clean feature
allows for any Self-Cleaning
cycle time from 2 (2:00) to 4
hours (4:00).
You may also choose the clean time in 1 minute
increments (for example
2 hours and 50 minutes) by pressing
the corresponding
number keypads.
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 llghf soils,
a 3 hour cycle for average
soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy
soils (to assure satisfactory
results).
NOTE: The kitchen
area should be well ventilated
using an
open window,
ventilation
fan or exhaust hood during the
Self-Clean
cycle. This will help eliminate
the normal
odors
associated
with the Self-Clean
cycle.
See example
below to start an immediate
Self-Cleaning
cycle or to set a Delay Start time of 9:00 o'clock
and shut-
off automatically
