Using the Self-Cleaning Oven

How to
delay the
start of
cleaning
1 Press the SELF CLEAN STD/LOW pad once for
a 4-hour clean time or twice for a 3-hour clean
time.
A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for
use when cleaning small, contained spills.
A self-clean time of 4 hours or longer is
recommended for a dirtier oven.
2 If a time other than 4 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.
3 Press the DELAY START pad.
4 Using the number pads, enter the time of day
you want the clean cycle to start.
5 Press the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display will
show the start time. It will not be possible to open
the oven door until the temperature drops below
the lock temperature and the LOCKED light goes
off.
When the LOCKED light goes off, you will be able
to open the door.
NOTE: On double oven models, you can set a
delay clean in both ovens at the same time. The
second oven set will automatically delay the start
of cleaning until the end of the first oven’s clean
cycle.
To recall the start time of the second oven set,
press the DELAY START pad on the controls for
the second oven.
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 until the
oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.
• While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press
the CLOCK pad to display the time of day.
To return to the clean countdown, press the
SELF CLEAN STD/LOW pad.
• If the racks become hard to slide, wipe the rack
supports with cooking oil.
