Oven Cleaning
(continued)
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle (Figure 1)
The oven is programmed to run a 3 hour self-clean cycle.
1. Be sure the oven door is closed.
2. Turn Temperature Control Knob to CLEAN.
3. Push .
4. If the door is left open, the "LOCK" indicator light will flash, but the lock
motor and clean cycle will not start. As soon as the controls are set and the
door is closed, the motor driven lock will begin to close automatically and
the "LOCK" indicator light will flash. DO NOT open the door while the light
is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the lock to close).
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed (Figure 1)
1. The "LOCK" indicator light will continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" indicator
light has gone completely out (and is not flashing), the oven door can be
opened.
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle (Figure 2)
The oven can be programmed to run a 2 or 3 hour 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:
1. Be sure the oven door is closed.
2. Turn Temperature Control Knob to CLEAN.
3. Push . "3:00" will appear in the display. (The oven will
automatically program a 3 hour clean cycle.)
4. If you want a 2 hour clean cycle, press . "2:00" will appear in the
display.
5. If the door is left open, the "LOCK" indicator light will flash and "dr" will glow
in the display, but the lock motor and clean cycle will not start. As soon as
the controls are set and the door is closed, the motor driven lock will begin
to close automatically and the "LOCK" indicator light will flash. "CLn" will
appear and remain in the display until the cleaning cycle is completed or
cancelled. DO NOT open the door while the light is flashing (it takes about
15 seconds for the lock to close).
6. Press at any time during the self-clean cycle to review
remaining cleaning time.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed (Figure 2)
1. The time of day will appear in the display window and the "LOCK" indicator
light will continue to glow.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" indicator
light has gone completely out (and is not flashing), the oven door can be
opened.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle (Figure 1 or 2)
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive
smoke or fire:
1. Turn Temperature Control Knob to OFF.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" indicator
light has gone completely out (and is not flashing), the oven door can be
opened.
3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.
4. Restart the self-cleaning cycle once all conditions have been corrected.
Note: If the oven is set to bake or broil,
and then the Temperature Control Knob
is set to CLEAN, it will not start the
clean cycle until START is pressed again.
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 when opening the door after
the self-cleaning cycle is completed.
The oven may still be VERY HOT.
