What To Do
• To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a
minimum of 3 hours. See the Using the self-cleaning
oven section.
• This is temporary.
• Allow the range to cool to room temperature and
reset the controls.
• See the Using the self-cleaning oven section.
• Make sure the door is closed.
• Turn the Oven Temperature to OFF. Allow the
oven to cool.
• This is normal.
•Press the OFF pad. Open the windows to rid the room
of smoke. Wait until the light on the CLEAN pad goes
off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
•Allow the oven to cool below locking temperature.
•See Using the self-cleaning oven section.
•Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean
cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean
again or for a longer period of time.
