Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean
cycle, you will not be able to slide the latch.
Allow additional time for cooling before you try to
set the cycle.
1. Follow directions to prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Slide the latch handle to the
right as far as it will go.
Never force the latch
handle. Forcing the handle
will damage the door lock
mechanism.
3. Turn the Oven Set knob to CLEAN. The CLEAN,
AUTOMATIC OVEN, OVEN ON and COOK
TIME ON/OFF lights will glow.
NOTE: If you turn the Oven Set knob before you
slide the latch, the CLEAN light will flash. Slide
the latch to the right.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours and
20 minutes. On some models, you can change the
Clean Time to anywhere between 3 hours and 5 hours
and 59 minutes, depending on how dirty your oven is.
You have one minute to change your Clean Time.
Use the HOUR and MIN. pads to change the total
Clean Time.
Both the OVEN ON light and the CLEAN light will
flash when the Clean Time is finished.
After using the clean cycle, the door latch and the
Oven Set knob must be returned to their original
positions before you can use the oven.
When the CLEAN light flashes, slide the latch
handle to the left as far as it will go, turn the Oven
Set knob to OFF and open the door.
Never force the latch handle. Wait until the CLEAN
light flashes and the latch slides easily. Forcing the
latch handle may damage the door lock.
Quick Reminder:
1. Latch the door.
2. Turn the Oven Set knob to CLEAN.
After a Clean Cycle
You may notice some white ash in the oven.
Just wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven
cools.
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel wool pad. Be sure to 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.
NOTE:
• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven
is cool enough for the door to be unlatched.
• While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the
CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return
to the clean countdown, press the COOK TIME
ON/OFF pad.

To Stop A Clean Cycle
1. Turn the Oven Set knob to OFF.
2. Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking temperature to unlatch
the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the
oven has cooled below the locking temperature.
