allow hot air or steam to escape.
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.
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.
