1. Turn the OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP knobs to
CLEAN. The controls will snap into final position
when the CLEAN location is reached.
2. Close the oven door and
slide the latch handle to
the right as far as it will
go. If the latch does not slide
it may not be fully extended
from the Hide-A-Way
position. Lift the cooktop and
make sure the handle is to the left as far as it will
go. Pull the handle out. Lower the cooktop and
slide the handle to the right in the lock position.
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle
will damage the door lock mechanism.
After a Clean Cycle
1. After cleaning is complete,
turn the OVEN SET knob
to OFF.
2. When the oven has
fallen below the locking
temperature, slide the
latch handle to the left
as far as it will go and
open the door. If you
cannot slide the latch,
allow additional time
for cooling.

3. Set the automatic oven timer:
Make sure both the clock and the START dial
show the correct time of day. When the START
knob is pushed in and turned, it will ''pop'' into place
when the time shown on the clock is reached.
Decide on the cleaning hours necessary.
Recommended cleaning times:
Moderate Soil—2 hours (thin spills and light spatter)
Heavy Soil—3 hours (heavy, greasy spills and spatter)
Add these hours to present time of day, then push in
and turn the STOP dial clockwise to this desired stop
time. The CLEANING light glows, indicating
cleaning has started. This light cycles on and off with
the oven heating units after the oven reaches cleaning
temperature.
The oven door and window get hot during self-
cleaning. DO NOT TOUCH.
Never force the latch handle. The latch slides easily.
Forcing the latch handle may damage the door lock.
When the oven has cooled below the locking
temperature, lift the cooktop and push the lock
handle back into the bracket.
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just
wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.
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, repeat
the cycle.
