Use the following chart as a guide to determine the desired
cleaning level.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp
cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
The oven lights will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On double oven models, only one oven can self-clean at a time. If
one oven is self-cleaning, the other oven cannot be set or turned
on.
NOTE: The oven has a 2 speed cooling fan motor. During self-
clean the fan(s) will operate at its highest speed to increase
airflow to better exhaust the hotter air through the oven vent(s).
An increase of noise may be noticeable during and after the self-
clean cycle until the oven cools.
