Oven Cleaning
FEATURE 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 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.
Ir_r'al_'_'_{_! 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.
