The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.
How to Delay the Start of Cleaning
Make sure the clock shows the correct time
of day.
Touch and hold the GAS/CONTROL
LOCKOUT pad for 3 seconds to turn
it off.
NOTE: The surface burners must be
turned off prior to the self-clean start time.
Touch the SELF CLEAN pad.
Using the number pads, enter the
desired clean time.
Touch the DELAY START pad. The
earliest start time you can set will
appear in the display.
Using the number pads, enter the
time of day you want the clean cycle
to start.
Touch the START pad.
The door locks automatically. The display
will show the start time. It will not be
possible to open the oven door until the
temperature drops below the lock
temperature and the LOCKED DOOR light
goes off.
The oven shuts off automatically when the
clean cycle is complete.
When the LOCKED DOOR light is off,
the door will unlock automatically.
■
The words LOCK DOOR will flash and the
oven control will signal if you set the
clean cycle and forget to close the oven
door.
■
To stop a clean cycle, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED DOOR
light goes off indicating the oven has
cooled below the locking temperature,
you may open the door.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the
oven cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled scouring pad and rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture.
These deposits are usually a salt residue
that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean
cycle, repeat the cycle.
■
You cannot set the oven for cooking until
the oven is cool enough for the door to
unlock.
■
While the oven is self-cleaning, you can
touch the CLOCK pad to display the
time of day. To return to the clean
countdown, touch the COOKING TIME
pad.
■
If the shelves become hard to slide, apply
a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking
oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of
the oven shelves with the paper towel.
