4. To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket
around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in
heat during the clean cycle.
5. Wipe up excess grease or spill-overs from the oven
bottom. This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or
flaming during the clean cycle.
6. Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet
potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel
is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may
discolor if acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up before a
self-clean cycle.

the self-cleaning time.
5. After four seconds, the oven will start cleaning.
• If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and "door" will
display. If the door is not closed within 30 seconds, the
self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display
will return to the time of day.
• CLEAN will appear in the display.
• LOCK will flash in the display. Once the door locks, the
word will remain steady.
• The cleaning time will start counting down in the display.
To Delay a Self-Clean Cycle:
1. Press the Delay 1 pad.

the self-cleaning time.
6. After four seconds, CLEAN and DELAY will light and LOCK
will flash in the display. When the oven door latches,
LOCK will stop flashing and light continuously to show that
the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The delay
time will display.
During the Self-Clean Cycle
When LOCK shows in the display, the door cannot be opened.
To prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open when
LOCK is displayed.
Smoke and Smells
You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few times
the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.
Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a pan
was left in the oven.
Sounds
As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage the oven.
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will
turn off. The door can then be opened.
Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove it
with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the
clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed
during the next clean cycle.
If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly
after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports with a small
amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to move.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not
affect performance.
A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or
sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean cycle.
This discoloration is normal and will not affect performance.
Notes:
• If the oven door is left open, "door" will flash in the display
and a signal will beep until the door is closed and the
Clean pad is pressed again.
• If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the
Clean pad and the Autoset 0 pad, the program will
automatically return to the previous display.
• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is forced
to open when LOCK is still displayed.
