Setting the controls for a delayed
Self-Cleaning cycle
1. Make sure the clock is set to the
right time of day.
(See “Setting the
electronic clock” on page 4.)
2. Move the Lock Lever all the way to
the right. The LOCK indicator will
come on.
3. Push the Clean button and turn the
Time/Temp Set Knob to the desired
cleaning time. The CLEAN, TIME,
HR, CLEAN, LOCK and ON
indicators will come on.
4. Push the Stop Time button. The
large display will show the current
stop time and the STOP TIME
indicator will come on. Turn the
Time/Temp Set Knob until the
desired stop time shows in the
display. The DELAY indicator will
come on and the ON indicator will
go off.
5. Chancres can be made at any time
by pressing the Clean or Stop Time
button and turning the Time/Temp
Set Knob to the new desired clean
or stop time.
When the Self-Cleaning cycle
starts, the stop time will show in
the large display. The STOP TIME,
CLEAN, LOCK and ON indicators
will come on. The Lock Lever
must
not be moved
and the door cannot
be opened after normal baking
temperatures are exceeded.
After the Self-Cleaning cycle is
completed,
the large display will
show the time of day.
8. When the oven reaches normal
baking temperatures, the Lock
Lever can be moved to the left and
the oven door opened. Do not force
it. Wait until it will move easily.
9. After the oven is cool, wipe off any
residue or ash with a damp cloth. If
needed, touch up spots with a
soapy steel wool pad.
Special tips
. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated
during the Self-Cleaning cycle to
help get rid of heat, odors and
smoke.
. Clean the oven before it gets
heavily soiled. Cleaning a very
soiled oven takes longer and results
in more smoke than usual.
1 If the Self-Cleaning cycle doesn’t
get the oven as clean as you
expected, the cycle may not have
been set long enough or you may
not have prepared the oven
properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle
longer the next time and hand clean
areas noted on page 10.
To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle
at any time:
1. Push the Set/Cancel button.
2. When the oven cools to below
normal operating temperatures,
move the Lock Lever back to the
left. Do not force it. Wait until it
moves easily.
How it works
During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven
gets much hotter than it does for baking
or broiling...approximately 875°F (468°C).
This heat breaks up grease and soil and
burns it off.

temperatures and times during a Self-
Cleaning cycle for three hours.

Notice that the heating stops when the three-hour setting is up, but that it takes longer for
the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
