5. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close
automatically and the "LOCK" indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the
door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the lock to
close).
6. The "LOCK" light will glow until the cleaning cycle is completed or cancelled,
and the oven temperature has cooled.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:
1. The time of day or End will appear in the display window and the Clean

3. If End is in the display and the Clean indicator remains on, press
CANCEL or CLEAR. The time of day will appear in the display.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive
smoke or fire:
1. Push CLEAR or CANCEL
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has
gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.
4. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.
Use care when opening
the oven door after the self-cleaning
cycle. 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 open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use
caution when opening the door after
the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
