How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, but the
time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours
30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes to
4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in
the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On combination oven models, the upper oven will not work
during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
On double oven models only, be sure to set the correct controls
for the oven (upper or lower) you want to use.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
2. Press the HOUR “+” or “-” keypads to set a clean time other
than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can be set between
2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes in 30-minute
increments.
3. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock, and “LOCKED” will
appear on the oven display. The door will not unlock until the
oven cools.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will
appear on the oven display, and “LOCKED” will disappear.
4. Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or OFF/
CANCEL or open the oven door to clear the oven display.
To Delay Start Self-Clean:
Before delay starting Self-Clean, make sure the clock is set to the
correct time of day. See “Clock” section. Also, make sure the
door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not
begin.
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
Press the HOUR “+” or “-” keypad to set a clean time other

increments.
2. Press STOP TIME.
3. Press the HOUR and MIN “+” or “-” keypads to enter the time
of day to stop.
4. Press START.
The start time is automatically calculated and displayed.
The door will lock automatically, and “LOCKED” and “DELAY”
will appear on the display. The door will not unlock until the
oven cools.
When the start time is reached, the oven will turn on
automatically.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will
appear on the lower oven display and “LOCKED” will
disappear.
5. Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven
display.
To Stop Self-Clean anytime:
Press UPPER OFF/CANCEL, LOWER OFF/CANCEL or OFF/
