OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Self Clean Cycle Duration
The self clean key controls the self-cleaning feature. If you
are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle
remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the
oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A
3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to
complete.
It is recommended to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light
soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for
heavy soils.
To set the controls for a 3 hour self-cleaning cycle to
start immediately and shut off automatically:
1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day and
the oven door is closed.
2. Press self clean. CLn and 3:00 HR will show in the
display. The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour
period (default self-cleaning cycle time). If a 2 or 4 hour
clean time is desired, press self clean multiple times to
toggle between 2, 3, or 4 hours.
3. Press start. door Loc will appear, a beep will sound,
and the word DOOR and the icon will flash; CLn will
remain on in the display.
4. As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven
door lock will begin to close automatically. Once the
door is locked, the DOOR indicator light and
icon
will stop flashing and remain on, and the oven icon will
appear in the display. Allow about 15 seconds for the
oven door to lock completely.
When the self-clean cycle is completed:
1. HOT will appear in the display. The time of day, the
word DOOR, and the icon will remain in the display.
2. Once the oven has cooled for approximately 1 hour,
door OPn will appear, and the word DOOR and the lock
icon will flash until the door unlocks. The door can be
opened, and the display will show the time of day.
To stop or Interrupt a self-cleaning cycle:
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning
cycle due to excessive smoke or fire in the oven:
1. Press off.
2. The oven door can only be opened after the oven has
cooled down for about 1 HOUR. door OPn will appear,
and the word DOOR and the icon will flash until the
door is unlocked. The oven door can then be opened,
and the timer will revert back to the time of day.

• When self clean is active you may check the time
remaining by pressing the Self Clean once. The
remaining time will appear in the display momentarily
before reverting back to the time of day.
• If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display
mode, the Delay Start for a Self Clean can only be
programmed to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes
after the time showing in the display (be sure to set
the clock to current time before programming a delay
start). To set a Delay Start Self Clean to begin 12 or
more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes)
after the time of setting, be sure to first set the control
in the 24 Hr display mode.
• If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a
power failure or cancelled before the oven was thor-
oughly cleaned, it may be necessary to run another
Self Clean cycle.
• If the oven temperature was high enough when Self
Clean was interrupted the oven control may not allow
another Self Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.
