To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
The Self-Clean key controls the self Clean 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 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3
hour cycle for average soils.
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.
