Oven Controls
As soon as Self Clean becomes active, a motor driven lock
mechanism will begin locking the oven door automatically and
door Loc will appear in the display (Figure 19). Do not open the
oven door when door Loc is displayed (allow 15 seconds for the
lock mechanism to lock the oven).
Once the oven door has locked, CLn will appear in the display
indicating Self Clean has started.
When Self Clean is finished:
Use caution when opening the oven door after
self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause
burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when
opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.
1. Cln message will turn off and Hot will appear in display
window (Figure 20).
2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is
no longer displayed, the door Opn message will appear.
When this message turns off the oven door may be opened.
3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away
any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper
towel.
Important note:
The kitchen area should be well ventilated. Use an open window,
ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle
to help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st self
clean cycle.
When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain locked
until the oven has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean
time that was programmed, allow about 1 additional hour for
the oven to cool before opening the oven door. The Self Clean
function will not operate when the oven lockout is active.

If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display mode, the
Delay Start for a Self Clean can only be programmed to
start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes after the time showing in

programming a delay start). To set a Delay Start Self Clean
to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59
minutes) after the time of setting, be sure to first set the
control in the 24 Hr display mode.
If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power

cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean
cycle.
If the oven temperature was high enough when Self Clean
was interrupted the oven control may not allow another Self
Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.
