Care & Cleaning

5. Press the Autoset pad to scroll through the

self-cleaning settings.

“HVy” (Heavy Soil, 4 hours)

“MEd” (Medium Soil, 3 hours)

“LITE” (Light Soil, 2 hours)

Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs
the self-cleaning time.

6. After four seconds, the CLEAN and DELAY icons will light

and the LOCK icon will flash in the display. When the
oven door latches, the LOCK icon will stop flashing and
light continuously to show that the oven is set for a
delayed clean operation. The delay time will display.

Notes:

• If the oven door is left open, “door” will flash in the

display and a signal will beep until the door is closed
and the Clean pad is pressed again.

• If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the

Clean pad and the Autoset pad, the program will
automatically return to the previous display.

• A cooling fan will turn on during the self-clean cycle and

will automatically turn off after the clean cycle when the
oven has cooled. If it does not operate, contact an
authorized servicer.

• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is

forced to open when the LOCK icon is still displayed.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, the
LOCK icon will turn off. The door can then be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove
it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means
the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be re-
moved during the next clean cycle.

If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle
, wipe racks and rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to
move.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling
. This is normal and will not
affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean
cycle
. This discoloration is normal and will not affect perfor-
mance.

During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, the door cannot be opened.
To prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open
when LOCK is displayed.

Smoke and Smells

You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few
times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in
time.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a
broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not
damage the oven.
