How to Set a
Cleaning Cycle to Start
at a Later Time
If you wish to start and stop cleaning
at a later time than shown on the
digital clock, push in and turn the
START dial to the time you wish to
start. Add the hours needed for
cleaning to this “start” time, then
push in and turn the STOP dial to
this desired time. The oven will
automatically turn on and off at the
set times.
If You Have to Interrupt the
Cleaning Cycle
Step 1. Turn the STOP dial until the
pointer is at the correct time of day.
Step 2. Push the self-clean latch
lever to the left as far as it will go. If
the LOCKED light is on, you must
wait until the light goes off before
moving the latch lever.
This will unlock the oven door so it
can be opened.
Step 3. Turn the OVEN SET knob
from CLEAN to OFF.
Important: Any attempt to
unlock the door by force while
the CLEANING light is on can
result in damage to the door
locking mechanism.
Questions and Answers
Q. Why won’t my oven clean
immediately even though I set
the time and OVEN SET knob
correctly?
A. Check to be sure your START
dial is set to the same time as the
range clock. Also check to be sure
LATCH LEVER is moved to the
right.
Q. If my oven clock is not
working, can I still self-clean
my oven?
A. No. Your Automatic Oven
Timer uses the range clock to help
start and stop your self-cleaning
cycle.
Q. Can I use commercial oven
cleaners on any part of my
self-cleaning oven?
A. No cleaners or coatings should
be used around any part of this
oven. If you do use them and do not
wipe the oven absolutely clean, the
residue can scar the oven surface
and damage metal parts the next
time the oven is automatically
cleaned.
Q. Can I clean the Woven Gasket
around the oven door?
A. No, this gasket is essential for
a good oven seal and care must be
taken not to rub, damage or move
this gasket.
Q. What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A. This is caused by excessive soil,
and you should switch the OVEN
SET knob to OFF. Open windows
to rid room of smoke. Allow the
oven to cool for at least one hour
before opening the door. Wipe up
the excess soil and reset the clean
cycle.
Q. Is the “crackling” sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal
heating and cooling during both the
cooking and cleaning functions.
Q. Should there be any odor
during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there may be a slight odor
during the first few cleanings.
Failure to wipe out excessive soil
might also cause a strong odor
when cleaning.
Q. What causes the hair-like
lines on the enameled surface of
my oven?
A. This is a normal condition,
resulting from heating and cooling
during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning?
A. Some types of soil will leave
a deposit which is ash. It can be
removed with a damp sponge or
cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What is the matter?
A. After many cleanings, oven
shelves may become so clean they
do not slide easily. If you wish
shelves to slide more easily,
dampen fingers with a small
amount of cooking oil and rub
lightly over sides of shelf where
they contact shelf supports.
Q. My oven shelves have become
gray after the self-clean cycle. Is
this normal?
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle,
the shelves may lose some luster
and discolor to a deep gray color.
