General Information
3. Some areas of the oven must be cleaned by hand
before the cycle begins. Soils in these areas will be
baked on and very difficult to clean if not removed
first. Clean the door up to the gasket, the door frame,
and up to 2 inches inside the frame with detergent
and hot water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
To start the Self-Clean cycle:
1. Close the door completely.
2. Turn the oven selector knob clockwise to the self-
clean mode.
3. Turn the temperature control knob past the clean
setting until the knob stops. At this time, the clean
indicator light will come on. Within 30 seconds the
automatic door latch engages and the oven indicator
light comes on. The oven indicator light will remain
on until the oven reaches the self-clean temperature
and will then cycle on and off during the self-
clean cycle. When the oven reaches the elevated
temperature needed for self-clean, the door lock
indicator light comes on.
4. The door lock indicator light will remain on until the
self-clean is completed or interrupted and the oven
temperature drops to a safe temperature. A complete
cycle approximately 3 1/2 hours with an additional 30
minutes needed for the oven to cool down enough for
the door latch to disengage.
NOTE: A fan noise will be heard during the self-clean
cycle and will continue to run for the 3 1/2 hour
duration of the self-clean cycle.
5. When the cycle is completed, turn both the oven
selector and temperature control knob to the off
position. When the oven has completely cooled,
open door and remove any ash from the oven
surfaces with a damp cloth.
To stop the Self-Clean cycle:
To cancel or interrupt the self-cleaning cycle, turn both
the temperature control knob and the oven function
selector knob to OFF. When the oven temperature drops
to a safe temperature, the automatic door latch will
release and the oven door can be opened. When the
oven has completely cooled, remove any ash from the
oven surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.
