After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the
oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after
the oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with
a soap-filled steel wool pad and 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.
■
You cannot set the oven for cooking or
another self-clean cycle until the oven is
cool enough for the door to unlock.
■ While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
touch the CLOCK pad to display the time
of day. To return to the clean countdown,
touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
■ If the racks become hard to slide,
apply a small amount of cooking oil
to a paper towel and wipe the edges
of the oven racks with the paper towel.
How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when cleaning
small, contained spills. A self-clean
time of 5 hours is recommended
for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 5 hours or 3 hours
is needed, use the number pads and
enter the desired clean time.
You can change the clean time to any time
between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending
on how dirty your oven is.
Touch the DELAY START pad.
Using the number pads, enter the time
of day you want the clean cycle to
start.
Touch the START pad.
The upper and lower oven doors lock
automatically. The cooktop elements are
also locked out during self-clean. The
display will show the start time. It will not
be possible to open the oven doors or use
the cooktop until the temperature drops
below the lock temperature and
LOCKED/DOOR goes off in the control
display.
When LOCKED/DOOR goes off, you will
be able to open the doors.
The oven doors must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
