easily. What is the matter?

moved with a damp sponge or cloth.

clean long enough. This deposit

and stop your self-cleaning cycle.

sulting from heating and cooling

ediately
even though I have set

clock is set to the correct time of
day. Also check to be sure the
oven Latch is closed securely.
Q. If the inside of my oven door is
soiled will it be cleaned during the
cleaning cycle?
A. Yes. The raised section of the
oven door inside the gasket will be
cleaned.
The area outside
the
oven gasket must be cleaned by
hand as described in the "Clean-
ing Chart".
Q. Can I open the oven door when
the Lock Light is on?
A. No. You must turn all the con-
trols to OFF and allow the oven to
cool. When the Lock Light goes
out, you may open the oven door.
Q. Why would I want to set my Au-
tomatic Oven Timer to start clean-
ing at a later time of day?
A. Some utility companies
offer
cheaper electric
rates at times
when
electrical
consumption
is
lowest, Since these rates often oc-
cur late at night when you may be
sleeping, you can set your oven
before going to bed so cleaning
times coincide with these lower
rates.
