SELF-CLEANING
Setting clean

storage (some models) or warmer drawer (some
models), all oven racks from the oven and be sure
the oven door is completely closed.
2. Press the keypad. "---" appears in the display.
3. To start press the or keypad once. "3:00" will
appear in the display indicating that a 3 hour self-
clean time is selected. To change to a shorter 2 hour
self-clean time press the keypad once ("2:00" will
appear in the display indicating that a 2 hour self-
clean time is selected.)
(some models) To set self-clean using a 4 hour
clean time press once (4:00 appears in display).
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-
clean cycle after it has been activated:
1. Press keypad.
2. Once the oven has cooled down (as much as 1 hour)
and the "door locked" indicator light has turned off,
the oven door may be opened.
3. If the self-clean cycle did not completely finish
cleaning the oven, set for another self-clean cycle.
IMPORTANT
Whenever the self-clean feature is active you may
momentarily display the amount of clean time remaining
by pressing the self-clean keypad once. You will need
to add about 1 hour to the time displayed before the
oven cools down enough for the oven door to unlock.
To set self-clean:
To stop self-clean at any time press keypad.
Restarting self-clean after a power failure:
If a self-clean cycle was interrupted by a power failure,
your oven may not have thoroughly cleaned. If so, once
power is restored, the oven has cooled and the oven door
has unlocked, set for another self-clean cycle.
IMPORTANT
• To avoid possible burns use care when opening the
oven door after the clean cycle is finished. Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the oven door
to allow any hot air or steam to escape.
• The oven bake and broil elements may appear to
have cooled after they have turned OFF. The
elements may still be hot and burns may occur if
these elements are touched before they have cooled
sufficiently.
Immediately after setting self-clean the oven door
will start to lock. Check to be sure the oven is
completely empty before setting self-clean.
If self-clean was set and any items were left inside the
oven, you should try to remove them as soon as
possible.
Press cancel to stop self-clean and wait for the oven
door to unlock. Once unlocked, remove any items from
the oven, close the oven door and if needed set for
self-clean again.
Once the oven control is set for self-clean, the "door
locked" indicator light will flash while the latch is locking
the oven door. DO NOT attempt to open the oven door
while this indicator light is flashing (allow about 15
seconds for the oven door to completely lock). DO NOT
try to force the oven door open. This may damage the
automatic door locking system.
When the self-clean cycle ends:
• The time of day will appear in the oven display and
the "clean" and "door locked" indicator lights will
continue to glow.
• Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and
the "door locked" light has turned off, the oven door
may be opened.
• Wait until the oven is completely cool, then wipe
away any residue or powdered ash from the oven
interior using a clean damp cloth or paper towel.
