SELF-CLEANING
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns 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 and avoid possible
burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
Í NOTE
When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered
ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

4 hours to complete.

light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a
4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory
results).
