To Start the Self-Clean Cycle (Lower Oven)
*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for
average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
To Set the Controls:
1. Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day .
2. Turn the Selector Control knob to CLEAN.
3. Push the BAKE TIME pad.
4. Push the UP ARROW pad to enter the amount of time you want the clean
cycle to operate. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you
havelight, medium or heavy. *See above.
5. If you wish to set a delayed clean cycle, push the STOP TIME pad and enter
the time you wish the clean cycle to end. The automatic timer will turn the
oven on and off at the time you select in advance. 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 lock to unlock. This normally takes about one
hour. So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to
complete.
6. Move the oven door locking lever to the right. When the oven reaches high
cleaning temperatures, the "Lock" light will come on and you will not be
able to unlock the door until the oven has cooled below 550°F.
7. After the desired cleaning time has elapsed, the buzzer will sound and the
oven will turn off.
8. Be sure to turn the Selector Control knob to OFF when the self-cleaning
cycle is completed.
9. Once the oven has cooled below 550°F and the "Cleaning" light has gone
out, the oven door can now be opened. To open the door, move the locking
lever back to the left.
Use care when opening the oven door. 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 or the manual door locking lever
open. Forcing the door open can damage the door lock. The oven must cool
for approximately 1 hour (or below 550°F) before the door lock can be opened.
Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
