Self Cleaning
Self-Clean Cycle Time Length
The pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. When used with a the
pad, a delayed Self-Cleaning cycle may also be programmed. The Flex Clean
feature allows for any Self-Cleaning cycle time from 2 (2:00) to 4 hours (4:00).
You may also choose the clean time in 1 minute increments (for example 2 hours
and 50 minutes) by pressing the number keypads 2 5 0.
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 a 3 hour self-clean cycle 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).
To start an immediate Self-Cleaning cycle or to set a Delay

2. Press . "CLEAN" will flash and "3:00" HR will show in the

period (default self-cleaning cycle time). Note: If a 2 or 4 hour
clean time is desired, press 2 0 0 for 2 hour or press 4 0 0 for a
4 hour clean time. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of
soil: light, medium or heavy (* See above).
3. Press . The "DOOR LOCKED" icon will flash.
4. The motor driven oven door lock will begin to close automatically.
Once the door has been locked the "DOOR LOCKED" indicator
light will stop flashing and remain on (Fig. 3).
Note: Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close.
Note: If the optional delay Self-Clean feature is needed, finish steps
5-7. If Self-Clean is started immediately skip the remaining steps and
continue with "When the Self-Clean cycle is done" on the following
page.

time the icon "DELAY" will go out; the oven icon will come on, the
start time, "CLEAN" and "CLn" will remain in the display (Fig. 6)
