Self-Cleaning Cycle
Self-Clean Time Length
* For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for
light soils and a 3 hour cycle for average or a 4 hour cycle
for heavy soils.
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.
NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an
open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the
Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors
associated with the Self-Clean cycle.
To Set a Self-Clean Cycle or a Delayed Start Self-
Clean Cycle
See example below to start an immediate 4 hours Self-
Cleaning cycle or to set a Delay Start time of 9:00 o'clock
and shut-o automatically.
1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the
oven is EMPTY and the door is closed.
2. Press Clean.
3. Press 4, 0, 0.
Note: If a 2 or 4 hour clean time is desired, press 2, 0,
0 for a 2 hour or press 4, 0, 0 for a 4 hour clean time.
Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil: light,
average or heavy (*see above).
4. Press Start.
As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door
lock will begin to close automatically. Once the door
has been locked the "Door Locked" indicator light will
stop ashing and remain on.
Note: Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to
close.
Note: If the optional delay Self-Clean feature is needed,
nish steps 5-7.
5. Press Delay Start.
6. Enter the desired Self-Clean starting time using the
number pads 9, 0, 0.
7. Press Start.
The control will calculate forward from the set start time
to determine when the Self-Cleaning cycle should end.
The Self-Cleaning cycle will turn on automatically at the
set time.
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 when
opening the door after the self-clean cycle is nished.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:
1. The “DOOR LOCKED”, “CLEAN” and “HOT” icons will
remain in the display.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and
the “DOOR LOCKED” icon is no longer displayed, the
oven door can then be opened.
NOTE: When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or
powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a Self-Cleaning
cycle:
1. Press Stop.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and
the “DOOR LOCKED” light has gone out, the oven door
can be opened.
3. Restart the Self-Clean cycle once all conditions have
been corrected.
Important notes:
- Starting a Self-Clean cycle will turn ON the Cooktop Lockout
feature. The cooktop will remain locked until the Self-Clean
cycle has completed and the oven door has unlocked.
- When a Self-Clean cycle is turn on, the oven light will be disable
and if the oven light is On, it will turn OFF automatically.
