When Self Clean is Finished
1.
The Cln message will turn off, and Hot will appear in
display window.
2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is
no longer displayed the oven door may be opened.
3. The oven broil element may appear to have cooled once
the oven door is unlocked. The element may still be hot and
burns may occur if the element is touched before it has
cooled.
4. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away
any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper
towel.
Use caution when opening the oven door after
self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause
burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to the side of the oven
when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
Important:
The kitchen area should be well ventilated. Use an open window,
ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle
to help eliminate the normal odors associated with the initial self
clean cycle.
When the clean time finishes, the oven door will remain locked
until the oven has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean
time that was programmed, allow about 1 additional hour for
the oven to cool before opening the oven door.
Important note: The Self Clean function will not operate when
the oven lockout is active.
