rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth
containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil
(this will make the racks glide easier into the rack
position).
• Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity
before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean,
use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers
can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to
high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with
a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at
the front center of the oven bottom. These areas
heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap
and water.
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills
remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.

To Start the Self-Clean Cycle:

For satisfactory results use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for
light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average to heavy
soils.
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Press Clean. "— — —" appears in the display.
3. Press the Up Arrow until "3:00" appears in the
display for a 3 hour cycle, or press the Down
Arrow until "2:00" appears in the display for a 2
hour cycle.
4. As soon as the Up Arrow or Down Arrow is
released, "CLn" appears in the display.
5. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven
lock will begin to close automatically and the
"LOCK" indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the
door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15
seconds for the oven door to lock).
6. The "LOCK" light will illuminate until the cleaning
cycle is completed or cancelled, and the oven
temperature has cooled.

When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:

1. The time of day or "End" will appear in the display
window and the "Clean" and "LOCK" light will
continue to illuminate.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and
the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be
opened.
3. If "End" is in the display and the "Clean" indicator
remains on, press Clear Off. The time of day will
appear in the display.
NOTE: When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue
or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper
towel.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle:
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-
cleaning cycle:
1. Press Clear Off .
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and
the "LOCK" light has gone out, the oven door can be
opened.
3. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions
have been corrected.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT force the oven door open. This
can damage the automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning
cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
