OVERVIEW
Starting the Self-Clean Cycle
To Start
the Self-Clean
Cycle
The CLEAN (_
pad controls the Self-Cleaning
feature. 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.
*It is recommend to use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soil, a 3 hour cycle for average soil, and a 4 hour cycle for
heavy soil (to assure satisfactory results).

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.
