Oven Cleaning
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-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 to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
*We recommend 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).
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance; they may be burned if they touch the hot oven door surfaces.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. 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.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
To set the controls for the Self-Cleaning Cycle to start immediately and shut off automatically:
1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day and the oven door is closed.
2. PressCLEAN pad. "CLEAN" will flash and "3:00" will show in the display.The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour
period (default self-cleaning cycle time). If a 2 or 4 hour clean time is desired use the number pads to enter the time. Set the
cleaning time based on the amount of soil you haveilight, medium or heavy (*See above).
3. PressSTART pad. The "DOOR LOCKED" icon will flash; "CLEAN" icon and the letters "CLn" will remain on in the display.
4. As soon asthe control isset, the motor driven oven door lockwill begin tocloseautomatically. Once the door hasbeen locked
the "DOOR LOCKED" indicator light will stop flashing and remain on. Also the oven icon will show in the display.
Note: allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed
1. The time of day and, the "DOOR LOCKED" and "CLEAN" icon will remain in the display.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR, and the icon "DOOR LOCKED" is no longer displayed, the oven
door can then be opened.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire in the oven:
1. PressCLEAR OFF pad.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR and the "DOOR LOCKED" icon is no longer displayed, then the
oven door may be opened.
