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.
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.
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.
To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press CANCEL. If the
temperature is too high the oven door will remain locked and
“cool” and “locked” will be displayed.
The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.
The Precise Clean™ self-cleaning cycle is a “one touch” step that
uses very high temperatures and dissolves soil to a powdery ash.
The Precise Clean™ cycle will automatically determine the length
of cleaning time needed based on the number of times the oven
has been used since the last self-cleaning cycle. The maximum
clean time is 4 hours 30 minutes, and the minimum clean time is
2 hours 30 minutes.
To Self-Clean:
1. Close the oven door.
2. Press PRECISE CLEAN™. “CLEAN,” “SET,” and “UPPER” or
“LOWER” will flash in the display.
3. Press PRESETS.
MEd (Medium soil, 3 hours) appears in the display.
If the door is not closed, oven will beep and “door” will
appear in the display until the door is closed and the Clean
pad is pressed again. If the door is not closed within
30 seconds, the self-cleaning operation will be canceled
and the display will return to the time of day.
4. To choose a clean setting other than medium, press
PRESETS to scroll through the self-cleaning settings.
HVy (heavy soil, 4 hours)
MEd (medium soil, 3 hours)
LITE (light soil, 2 hours)
Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs
the self-cleaning time.
5. After 4 seconds, the oven will start cleaning.
“CLEAN” will appear in the display. “LOCK” will flash in the
display. Once both the oven doors lock, “LOCK” will remain
lit. The cleaning time will count down in the display.
When the self-clean cycle ends:
“LOCK” will turn off approximately 1 hour after the end of the
clean cycle. The door can then be opened.
To Delay Start Self-Clean:
Before delay starting the Precise Clean™ cycle, make sure the
door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not
begin.
1. Press DELAY once for upper oven or twice for lower oven.
“DELAY,” “00:00,” and “UPPER” or “LOWER” will flash in the
display.
2. Using the number pads, enter the amount of time you want to
delay the cycle. Delay time can be set from 10 minutes
(00:10) to 11 hours and 59 minutes (11:59).
3. Press PRECISE CLEAN™.
“SET” flashes in the display.
4. Press PRESETS.
“MEd” (medium soil level) is displayed.
5. To choose a clean setting other than medium, press the
PRESETS to scroll through the self-cleaning settings.
HVy (heavy soil, 4 hours)
MEd (medium soil, 3 hours)
LITE (light soil, 2 hours)
Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs
the self-cleaning time.
After 4 seconds, “CLEAN,” “DELAY,” and “UPPER” or
“LOWER” will light and “LOCK” will flash in the display. When
both oven doors lock, “LOCK” will stop flashing and stay lit to
show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The
delay time is displayed.
To change the delay self-clean time:
1. Press DELAY.
“DELAY” flashes and “00:00” will appear in the display.
2. Press the number pads to enter the amount of time you want
to delay the cycle.
After 4 seconds, “CLEAN,” “DELAY,” and “LOCK” will appear
in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean
operation. The delay time is displayed.
When the self-clean cycle starts:
“DELAY” will turn off, and the clean time will appear in the
display.
When the self-clean cycle ends:
“LOCK” will turn off approximately 1 hour after the end of the
clean cycle. The door can then be opened.
To Stop Self-Clean Anytime:
Press CANCEL. All words disappear from the display. All
functions are canceled. The time of day appears in the display.
Depending on the actual oven temperature when self-clean is
canceled, the oven door may remain locked until the oven cools.
