Self-Cleaning
The cooktop lockout feature will be activated during the self-clean and will unlock after the oven has cooled down.
Self-Clean Cycle Time Length
Flex
The FLEX CLEAN Clean
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 avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the
side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and
avoid possible burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY
HOT.
