Prepare Cooktop:
■ Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may
melt.
NOTE: Oven temperature must be below 400°F (205°C) to
program a clean cycle.
How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and between
3 hours and 4 hours for average to heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. To avoid breaking the glass, do not
apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has
completely cooled.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
When “LOCKED” shows in the display, the door cannot be
opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open
when “LOCKED” is displayed.

the oven door is left open, “CLOSE DOOR” will appear in the
display until the door is closed.
