Setting Oven Controls
Setting the Clean Cycle Duration
It is recommended to use a 2 hour clean cycle for light soils, a 3
hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils.
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a clean cycle,
remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven
door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour
clean cycle will normally take about 4 hours to complete.
While one of the ovens is in the clean cycle, the other oven is
disabled.
To set the controls for a 3 hour cleaning cycle to start immedi-
ately and shut off automatically:
1.
Turn both the oven mode and oven temperature selectors to
Clean. The display will show a 3 hour time (normal clean).
2. Use the

3. Once the control accepts a clean time, the REMOVE RACKS
message will blink in the display. If the door is open the
CLOSE DOOR message will also appear. If the user does
not shut the door within 3 minutes of the display showing
the door open message, the control will cancel the Clean
function.
Important: It is recommended to remove all non-porcelain oven
racks from the oven before starting a self-clean cycle, but the
porcelain Glide rack may be left in the oven if the rack is soiled.
After a self-clean cycle, or anytime the gliding is rough, the
glide rack should be treated with graphite lubrication.
4. After the REMOVE RACKS message ends the oven door will
begin locking. Do not attempt to open the door while the
motor door latch mechanism is locking or when any locking
indicators or displays are showing. The oven door should be
completely locked in about 15 seconds.
5. CLn and the lock icon will appear in the display when the
door is fully locked. The oven will start the Clean function.
6. The time left in the clean will be displayed under the CLn
message.
Important note: To turn the clean cycle off at any time, turn the
oven mode control and the oven temperature control to the OFF
position.

will fade out Hot from the timer display.

5. The oven is now ready for normal use.
The oven may still be very hot, to avoid possible
burns be sure to stand to the side of the oven door when
opening after a clean cycle to allow any heat or steam to
escape.
The oven control will not allow back to back cleaning and is
automatically set to delay for 4 hours before another clean may
be attempted in the same oven cavity.
Important note: If Clean is active and a power failure occurs,
the oven may not have thoroughly cleaned. This would depend
on how much cleaning time had elapsed before the power
failure. If needed after power is restored, set Clean again.
