Oven Cleaning
Self=Clean Cycle Time Length
The SPEED CLEAN _"_, CLEAN _ean_and MAXX CLEAN _aax _ pads control the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are
v
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 a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to
complete. *It is recommend to use a _ cycle (2 hour) for light soils, a _ cycle (3 hour)for average soils, and a
cycle (4 hour) for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very hot to touch. DO NOT leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
To avoid possible burns 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.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and
avoid possible burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
