Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean
cycle, the word “OFF” will appear in the display.
Allow additional time for cooling before you try to
set the cycle.
1. Follow the directions to prepare the oven
for cleaning.
2. Slide the latch handle to the
right as far as it will go.
Never force the latch
handle. Forcing the
handle will damage the
door lock mechanism.
3. Press the AUTO SELF CLEAN pad.
4. Press the + or – pad until desired
Clean Time is displayed.
Clean Time is normally 3 hours. You can change the
Clean Time to anywhere between 2 and 4 hours,
depending on how dirty your oven is.
The self-clean cycle will automatically begin after
“CLEAN” is displayed and the time for the clean
cycle is set. The words “ON” and “LOCK” will
appear in the display. It will not be possible to open
the oven door until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the LOCK light goes off.
5. When the LOCK light is off, slide the latch handle
to the left as far as it will go and open the door.
The word “door” will be displayed, the word “LOCK”
will flash and the oven control will signal if you set
the clean cycle or forget to close the oven door.

3. Press the + or – pad to set the Clean Time.
After a Clean Cycle
After cleaning is complete, the door latch must be
returned to its original position before you can use the
oven. The oven door will stay locked until the oven
cools. If you cannot slide the latch easily to unlock the
door, allow additional time for cooling.
Never force the latch handle. The latch slides
easily. Forcing the latch handle may damage the
door lock.
You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just
wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly
with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits
are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by
the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,
repeat the cycle.
If the shelves have become hard to slide, wipe the
shelf supports with cooking oil.
NOTE: No functions can be programmed before the
door automatically unlocks.
To Stop a Clean Cycle
1. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad.
2. When the LOCK light goes off and the oven has cooled below the
locking temperature, open the door.
