in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed
clean operation. The delay time is displayed.

Notes:

• If the oven door is left open, “door” will flash in the

display and a signal will beep until the door is closed
and the Clean pad is pressed again.

• If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the

Clean pad and the More+ or Less- pad, the program
will automatically return to the previous display.

• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is

forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling
. This is normal and will not
affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean
cycle
. This discoloration is normal and will not affect
performance.

If the oven has already been set for a clean
cycle and you wish to set a delay:

1. Press the Delay pad.

• DELAY flashes.

• 00:00 will appear in the display.

2. Press the More+ or Less- pad to set the

amount of time you want to delay the cycle.

After four 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.

• The clean time will appear in the display.

To cancel the Self-Clean cycle:

Press the CANCEL pad.

• All words disappear from the display.

• All functions are canceled.

• The time of day appears in the display.

During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, the door cannot be opened.
To prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open
when LOCK is displayed.

Smoke and Smells

You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few times
the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a pan
was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage the oven.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will
turn off. The door can then be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove it
with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the
clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed
during the next clean cycle.

If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle
, wipe racks and rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to
move.
