Setting fresh clean
A self-cleaning oven automatically cleans itself using much
higher temperatures than those used for cooking. The self-
clean feature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a
fine powdered ash that, when the oven has cooled, can be
wiped away easily with a damp cloth.
The self-clean function provides 3 different clean time settings
for self-cleaning. Set clean for 2 hours for light, 3 hours for nor-
mal or 4 hours for heavier soils.
To start a self-clean:
Once active, the door lock motor will begin locking the oven
door. door loc (
Figure 68 ) will appear in the display. DO NOT
try to open the door when the door loc message is on (allow
about 15 seconds for the oven door to completely lock). DO
NOT force the oven door open. This could damage the door
locking system. Once the oven door is locked the door loc
message will turn off and CLn will appear in the display for the
entire self clean cycle (
Figure 69 ).
When the self clean cycle is finished:
1. The time of day and Hot will show in the display
( Figure 70 ).
2. Once the oven has cooled (about 1 hour) and Hot is no lon-
ger displayed, the door OPn message will appear
(
Figure 71 ). When this message turns OFF the door has
finished unlocking.
3. When the oven is cool, wipe away any residue or powdered
ash from the oven interior using a damp cloth or paper
towel.
A self-clean cycle will not start if the control lock feature is
active.
When the self clean feature is active, you may check the
amount of time remaining by pressing
.
If a self-clean cycle was started but did not finish due to a power
outage, your oven may not have completely cleaned.
1. The oven door should be empty and all oven racks
removed. Remove all items from the cooktop. Be sure
the oven door is completely closed
2. Press fresh clean once for a 3-hour clean
( Figure 65 ), twice for a 4-hour clean
( Figure 66 ) or 3 times for a 2-hour clean
( Figure 67 ).
