Note (some range models only): During the self-cleaning, the surface element, when used, are subjected to high heat.
To ensure maximum element life, a safe guard locks off the use of the surface elements during the self-clean cycle. Once
the oven cleaning cycle is completed and the oven door can be opened, the surface elements can be utilized.
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, and a 3 hour cycle for average to heavy soils (to assure satisfactory
results).
To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:
1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.
2. Push the CLEAN pad. "- - -" appears in the display.
3. Push the UP ARROW pad until "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle, or push the DOWN ARROW pad until
"2:00" appears in the display for a 2 hour cycle.
4. As soon as the UP or DOWN ARROW pad is released, "CLn" appears in the display.
5. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and the "Door Locked" indicator
light will flash. DO NOT open the door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the lock to close).
6. The "Door Locked" light will glow until the cleaning cycle is completed or cancelled, and the oven temperature has cooled.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:
1. The time of day or "End" will appear in the display window and the "Clean" and "Door Locked" light will continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the "Door Locked" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. If "End" is in display and the "Clean" indicator remains on, press CLEAR OFF pad. The time of day will appear in the display.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire:
1. Push the CLEAR OFF pad.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the "Door Locked" light has gone out, the oven door can be opened.
3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.
4. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.
Use care when opening the oven door after 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 when
opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
