Care & Cleaning
3. Press the Clean pad while DELAY is
displayed.
• CLEAN will flash.
If the door is not closed within 25 seconds, the
self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display
will return to the time of day.
4. Press the More+ or Less- pad.
• MEd for medium amount of soil (3 hours)
is displayed.
If the door is not closed, DOOR will appear in
the display. After 45 seconds, three beeps will
sound, the self-cleaning operation will be canceled
and the display will return to the time of day.
5. Press the More+ pad twice for heavy soil (4 hours).
• HVy will be displayed.
Press the Less- pad twice for light soil (2 hours).
• LITE will be displayed.
Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs
the self-cleaning time.
6. After four seconds, CLEAN, DELAY and LOCK will appear
in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed
clean operation. The delay time is displayed and will begin
to count down.
Notes:
• If the oven door is left open, DOOR will appear in the
display until the door is closed.
• If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the
Clean pad and the More+ or Less- pad, the program
will automatically return to the previous display.
• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is
forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.
During the Self-Clean Cycle
When LOCK shows in the display, the oven door is locked. 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.
After Self-Cleaning
About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK
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
removed 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
performance.
When the Self-Clean cycle starts:
• DELAY will turn off.
• CLEAN, HOURS, LOCK and the clean time will appear
in the display.
To cancel the Self-Clean cycle:
Press the CANCEL pad.
• All words disappear from the display.
• All functions are canceled.
• The time of day appears in the display.
