Oven Cleaning
FEATURE OVERVIEW
• To Start the Self-Clean
Cycle
Note: DO NOT attempt to use the surface elements while oven is self-cleaning. An automatic safeguard locks off the
surface elements during self-cleaning. You cannot use the surface elements until the oven door can be opened after the
cleaning cycle is complete.
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
To assure satisfactory results, we recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, and a 3 hour cycle for average to
heavy soils.
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Push the CLEAN pad _. "- - -" appears in the display.
3. Push the UP ARROW pad ^ until "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle, or push the DOWN ARROW pad
v until "2:00" appears in the display for a 2 hour cycle.
4. As soon as the UP ^ or DOWN ARROW pad v is released, "CLn" appears in the display.
5. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the "DOOR LOCKED"
indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the lock to
close).
6. The "DOOR LOCKED" indicator light will glow until the cleaning cycle is completed or cancelled, and the oven
temperature has cooled.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:
1. The time of day or "End" will appear in the display window and the "CIn" and "DOOR LOCKED" indicator light will
continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the "DOOR LOCKED" light has gone out, the oven door can be
opened.
3. If "End" is still in display and the "CIn" indicator remains on, press CANCEL OFF [_ pad. The time of day will appear
in the display.
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:
1. Push the CANCEL OFF pad [_,
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the "DOOR LOCKED" indicator light has gone out, the oven door
can be opened.
3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.
4. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.

Use care when opening the oven door after self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening
the door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
