How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in
the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks,
and popping sounds.
Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed
or the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not
begin.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a
damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool
damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely
cooled.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press CANCEL. If
the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked
and "cool" and "locked" will be displayed. The cooling fan
may continue to run.
The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
