Care & Cleaning
To start a Self-Cleaning cycle:
1. Be sure oven is empty and the oven door is closed.
2. Turn selector knob to Self Clean.
3. The corresponding LED will flash.
4. Turn temperature knob to Clean.
5. The LED for “Lock” will flash while transitioning from unlock to lock. It will stop
flashing when the door is locked.
6. As soon as the controls are set to clean, the motor driven oven door lock will
begin to close automatically. Once the door has been locked the indicator
light will stop flashing and remain on. Allow about 30 seconds for the oven
door lock to close.
The selector knob controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the
oven immediately after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to
cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.
A 3-hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

If the “- Racks” LED is flashing when the clean mode is initiated, the oven racks and
rack glides with supports have not been removed. It will discontinue flashing, once the
selector knob is set back to the off position and the racks and rack glides with supports
are removed from the oven (not applicable to model E48DF76EPS companion oven).
