motorized door latch mechanism will automatically start to
lock the oven door and the DOOR LOCKED indicator light

LOCKED indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15 seconds
for the oven door to completely lock.

indicator light will glow steady. When CLn will appears in
the display Select Clean is active.
Use caution when opening the oven door
after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and
can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side
of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or
steam to escape.
When Select Clean is finished:
1. The time of day will appear in the display window and
the Select Clean and DOOR LOCKED indicator lights
will continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and the
DOOR LOCKED indicator light has turned off the oven

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe
away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or
paper towel.
Important notes:
• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open
window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st
self-clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors
associated with the 1st self-clean cycle.
DO NOT attempt to open the oven door when the
DOOR LOCKED indicator light is flashing. Allow about 15
seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to
completely lock or unlock the oven door.
When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain
locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition
to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow
about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you
will be able to open the oven door.
• The Select Clean function will not operate whenever a
radiant surface element is ON or the oven lockout is
