2. Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any
aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high clean-
ing temperatures.
3. Remove oven racks. If they go through the clean
cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish
will be dull. Rub the sides of the racks with wax
paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad
oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack
position).
4. 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 cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
5. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the area under
the door, and the outside edge of the oven around the
oven seal before self-clean cycle. These areas heat
sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and
water.
6. Do not turn on the oven light during self-cleaning. The
light may fail due to excessive heat.
Self-Clean
Use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour
cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils
to assure satisfactory results.
CAUTION
!
To avoid risk of personal injury, 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. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system.
1. Confirm clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Press
CLEAN
pad.
“CLN TIME” displays.
3. Press and hold or pad until
“3 HR:00” displays.
Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil
you have—light, medium or heavy. *See above.
When the controls are set, the motor driven lock
begins to close automatically and the “LOCKED”
indicator light will be displayed. (It takes about 15
seconds for the lock to close.)
“Clean” light comes on. “Oven” light comes on and
cycles with the oven burners.
To Stop or Interrupt a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning
cycle due to excessive smoke or fire:
1. Press
OVEN CANCEL
pad.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately
1 HOUR and “LOCKED” in the display has gone out,
then the oven door can be opened.
If the self-cleaning cycle is cancelled while at a
high temperature, make sure the word “LOCKED”
is not in the display and the oven has cooled down
for at least 1 HOUR before trying to open the oven
door.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed
1. The time-of-day appears in the display window and the
word “LOCKED” remains in the display until oven cools.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately
1 HOUR and the word “LOCKED” shown in the display
has gone out, then the oven door can be opened.
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.
