The SPEED CLEAN

, CLEAN

and MAXX CLEAN
Maxx

pads control the Self-
Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly 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. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4
hours to complete.
*It is recommend to use a
Speed
clean
cycle (2 hour) for light soils, a
Clean
cycle (3 hour) for
average soils, and a
Maxx
clean
cycle (4 hour) for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory
results).
NOTE: During a Self-Cleaning cycle the second oven will be disabled.
To avoid possible
burns 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.
DO NOT force the
oven door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system.
Use caution and avoid possible
burns when opening the door after
the Self-Cleaning cycle has
completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.
