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 or heavy soils.
NOTE: The kitchen area should be ventilated using an open window, ventitlation fan or exhaust hood during the first
self-clean cycle. This wilt help eliminate the normal odors associated with the first self-clean cycle.
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Press _. " " appears in the display.
3. Press the /_, until "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle, or press the v until "2:00" appears in the
display for a 2 hour cycle.
4. As soon as the A or v 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 wilt flash. DO NOT open the door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the oven door to
lock).

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 glow.
