IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
COOKTOP OVEN
Use Proper Flame Size m Adjust
flame size so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the burner
flame to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
Know which knob controls each surface
burner. Place a pan of food on the burner
before turning it on, and turn the burner
off before removing the pan.
Always turn knob to the full LITE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check
that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of
the utensil.
Utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface
burners m To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with
the utensil, the handle of the utensil should
be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings _ Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
Glazed cooking utensils _ Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
When you are flaming foods under a
ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
Before manually cleaning any
part ot the oven, be sure all controls are
turned off and the oven is cool. Cleaning a
hot oven can cause burns.
Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not
allow grease to accumulate.
Always follow the manufacturer's recom-
mended directions for use of kitchen cleaners
and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the
hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning hoods.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Before using self-clean, remove the broiler
pan, any food, utensils, and bakeware
from the oven. Remove oven racks unless
otherwise instructed.
Do Not Use Oven Cleaners. No commer-
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
Do Not Clean Door Gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
Some birds are extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-clean
cycle of any oven. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
Do not touch heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven. Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven become
hot enough to cause burns.
_During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have sufficient
time to cool.

Before Setting Surface Controls
Check burner cap placement before operating the
surface burners
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of
harmful by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner
caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas flame
size.
On round style burners, the burner cap lip (Figure 1) should fit
snug into the center of burner head and rest level. Refer to
Figure 2 for correct and incorrect burner cap placement. Once
in place, you may check the fit by gently sliding the burner cap
from side to side (Figure 3) to be sure it is centered and firmly
seated. When the burner cap lip makes contact inside the
center of the burner head you will be able to hear the burner
cap click. Please note that the burner cap should NOT move off
the center of the burner head when sliding from side to side.
Check and be sure that all oval style (some models) burner caps
are correctly in place on oval burner heads.
It is very important to be sure that all surface burner caps and
burner grates are properly installed and in the correct locations
BEFORE operating the cooktop burners.
Remember:
• Always keep surface burner caps in place whenever using a
surface burner.
• When placing the burner caps, be sure that all burner caps
are seated firmly and rest level on top of burner heads.
• For proper flow of gas and ignition of burners DO NOT
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to
enter the gas orifice port opening.
Installing burner grates:
Do not use the surface burners without the
burner caps and burner grates properly installed. Missing pieces
or improper installation may lead to spills, burns, or damage to
your range and cookware.
Make sure the burner grates are properly placed on the cooktop
before using the surface burners. The grates are designed to rest
inside the recess on the cooktop.
To install burner grates, place grates flat-side down and align
into the cooktop recess. Grates should rest flush against each
other and against the sides of the recess.

Before Setting Surface Controls
Using Proper Cookware
_DO NOT place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Important: DO NOT place aluminum foil, or ANY
material that can melt on the range cooktop. If these
items melt they may damage the cooktop.
For best cooking results, cookware should have flat bottoms that
rest level on the burner grate. Before using cookware, check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware
(Figure 5).
Setting Proper Burner Flame Size *
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge
of the cooking utensil. A higher flame wastes energy, and
increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other
types of pans.
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment.
A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted
room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust or
clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
For most cooking
Start on the highest setting and then turn to a lower setting to
complete the process. Use the recommendations below as a
guide for determining proper flame size for various types of
cooking (Table 1)
Figure 5: Check for flat bottom cookware
Please note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the burner flame
setting needed for best cooking results.
Cookware material types
The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists
staining & pitting).
• Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results.
Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
Porcelain -enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
For deep fat frying
Use a thermometer and adjust the surface knob accordingly. If
the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If
the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center
will be under cooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much
food at once as the food will neither brown or cook properly.

Setting Surface Burners
Your gas appliance may be equipped with different sized
surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger
volumes increases as the burner size increases. It is important to
select cookware that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared.
• The smaller SIMMER burner (on some models) is best suited
for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
• The standard size burners may be used for most surface
cooking needs. Some models are equipped with a center
burner.
The larger POWER burners (on some models) or TURBO
BOIL burner (on some models) are recommended for
bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.
To set surface burners:
1. Place cooking utensil on center of surface burner grate. Be
sure the cooking utensil sets stable on the burner grate.
2. Push the desired surface control knob in and turn counter-
clockwise out of the OFF position and rotate to the LITE
position. Visually check that the burner has lit. (Figure 7)
3. Once the burner has a flame, turn counterclockwise to the
desired flame size. Use the control knob markings and
adjust the flame as needed.
Important notes:
• DO NOT cook with the surface control knob left in the LITE
position. The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the
control knob setting remains in the LITE position.
• When setting any surface control knob to the LITE position,
all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time.
However, only the surface burner you are setting will ignite.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This can cause
uneven heating results.
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface
burners can be lit manually. Use caution when lighting
surface burners manually. To light a surface burner, hold a
lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the surface
control knob to LITE. After burner lights push in and turn
knob to desired setting.
When operating the oven, it is possible for residual heat
from the oven to build-up and over time to eventually
transfer to the surface control knobs located directly above
the oven door.
Figure 7: Correct way to set burners
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to the range cooktop.
Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY material
that can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt they may
permanently damage the cooktop surface.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven
is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary
for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block oven vent. Steam or moisture may appear on or
around the oven vent during the cooking process. This is normal.
Figure 8: Do not block oven vent location
Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in
risk of electric shock or fire.
Be sure to remove all oven racks and accesso-
ries before starting a self clean cycle.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as well
as the oven racks, will become very hot which can cause burns.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven
racks
• To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
• To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both
sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using.
Types of Oven Racks
_ fiathandle

Figure 9: Types of oven racks
Oven Rack Descriptions
• Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be used
for most cooking needs and may be placed in most oven
rack positions.
• The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional step
down positions from the standard flat rack design. The
offset design positions the base of the rack about half of a
rack position lower than the flat rack and may be used in
most oven rack positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2 inches
(5 cm) around the bakeware for proper air circulation. Be sure
pans and bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around bakeware for even
heat to reach the food.

Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking using
normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indicating
when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food
in the oven. During the baking process the oven will cycle on
and off to maintain the set temperature. Do not open the oven
door too often. Opening the door will reduce the oven tempera-
ture and may increase cook time.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F
(77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Setting Convec Bake
Benefits of the convection bake feature:
• Foods may cook up to 25°/0 faster, saving time and energy.
• Multiple rack baking.
• The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven's
heat uniformly and continuously around the oven
(Figure 17). This improved heat distribution allows for fast,
even cooking and browning results.
To set Bake for oven temperature of 425°F (218°C):
1. Press Bake.
2. Enter 4 2 5 (2 1 8) using numeric keys.
3. Press

To cancel Bake at any time press
Regular bake rack positions:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 16).
• When baking using 2 oven racks, position bakeware as
shown in Figure 16. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes,
cookies and muffins.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the regular bake function for best
results.
Figure 17: Air circulation in the convection function
Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with
the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe's recom-
mended temperature by 25 °.
For best results, follow the recipe's instructions using the
minimum recommended cook time.
Convec Bake may be set for any oven temperature between
300°F (148°C) to 550°F (288°C).
The convection fan will begin rotating six minutes after Convec
Bake, Convec Roast or Convec Convert has been activated.
To set Convec Bake with a default oven set temperature of
350°F (176°C):
1. Press Convec Bake.

Oven Controls
Tips for convection baking:
Convection bake rack positions:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• The convection fan will begin to operate after the oven has
heated for six minutes.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 18).
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware
for proper air circulation.
Figure 18: Convection rack positions and pan spacing
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides
or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around the
food.
• If the oven door is opened when the convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins.
Selling Convec Roast
The Convec Roast function combines a cook cycle with the
convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using
the Convec Roast function will be juicier and poultry will be
crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
Convec Roast may be set for any oven temperature between
300°F (148°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Convec Roast:
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Convec Roast. Since Convec Roast cooks food faster, reduce
the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of
your recipe. If necessary, increase cooking time until the
desired doneness is obtained.
• The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid
will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the
meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting as this will prevent
the meat from browning properly.
To set Convec Roast with a default oven set temperature of
350°F (176°C):
1. Press Convec Roast.
2. Press START.
m
To cancel Convec Roast at any time press sToP.
Important note:
• The convection fan will begin rotating six minutes after
Convec Bake, Convec Roast or Convec Convert has been
activated.
• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
• It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack.
Use a deep pan instead.

Setting Broil
Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure
to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is
factory preset to broil at 550°1:. The Broil function temperature
may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and
550°F (288°C).
The suggested broil settings table (Table 3) are recommenda-
tions only. Depending on cooking preferences you can increase
or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack
position. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table,
follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the
item closely.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door
and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extin-
guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be
explosive.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, oven
racks and oven will become very hot which can cause burns.
Important note:
• Always keep the door closed when broiling. Always arrange
oven racks when oven is cool.
For best results when broiling, use quality broil pan along
with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the
fat from food, helping to reduce smoking and avoid
splatter.
• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
To set the Broil with the default temperature of 550°F (288°C):
1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning
results, preheat oven for 5 minutes before adding food.
2. Position bakeware in oven to the preferred rack position.

Setting Slow Cook
The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower
oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal
for roasting beef, pork, and poultry. Slow cooking meats may
result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn
the outside as it seals in the meat's juices.
Two Slow Cook settings are available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The
high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5 hours.
The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9 hours or longer.
Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger-
ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.
Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position
2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various
bakeware when cooking multiple food items.
• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open
when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the
Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type
cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook
times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone,
and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be
necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.
• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of
cooking.
Important note:
• Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook
Time and Delay Start.

Setting the Sabbath feature (for use on the Jewish
Sabbath and Holidays)
For further assistance, guidelines for proper
usage and a complete list of models with the
Sabbath feature, please visit the web at
www.star-k.org.
This appliance provides special settings for
use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath
mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the
oven control. Bake heating is the only cooking feature available
while in the Sabbath mode. Oven controls are locked during
Sabbath mode.
You must first set the Bake feature and temperature(s) needed
for the oven, and the Cook Time and Delay Start options (if
needed). Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode
will be visible in the displays. The Cook Time option, if set prior
to the Sabbath mode, will give one audible alert at the end of
Cook Time.
The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 Hour
Energy Saving mode and the appliance will stay on until the
cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features
are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no
audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the can-
cellation.
If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them
prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned
on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on
until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are
turned off. The oven door will not activate the interior oven
lights when the oven door is opened or closed.
It is recommended that any oven temperature modification
made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with 2
presses of the START key. This will insure the oven remains on
even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside
of its temperature range. If the oven temperature is set outside
of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest
available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature
again.
Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger-
ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.

Restoring Factory Default Settings
Your appliance was set with predetermined (default) oven
control settings. Over time, users may have made changes to
these settings. The following options may have been modified
since the appliance was new:
• 12 or 24 hr display mode
• Continuous bake or 12 Hour Energy Savings mode
• Silent or audible control
• Oven temperature display (Fahrenheit or Celsius)
• Oven temperature adjustments (UPO)
To restore oven control to factory default settings:
_lf you choose to restore any of the options to a
factory default setting using this method, all of the above user
settings will be restored to the factory default settings. This
includes the oven temperature offset that will reset to (0) zero.

2. Press START. The control has been reset with the default
settings.
Adjusting Oven Temperatures
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure
accurate baking temperatures. For the first few uses, follow your
recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you
think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe
times, the UPO (User Programmable Offset) allows you to adjust
the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven
temperature displayed.
The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F
(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory calibrated
settings.
To increase (+) or decrease (-) the oven temperature by 20°F:
1. Press and hold Bake until the control produces an audible
tone (about 6 seconds). The factory offset temperature of
0 (zero) should appear in the display.
2. Enter 2 0 using numeric keys.

Self Clean
A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well
above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature elim-
inates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash
you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.
The Self Clean function allows you to set a cleaning time from 2
hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour cleaning time is recommended for
normal cleaning, 2 hours for light cleaning, and 4 hours for
heavy cleaning.
Read before starting Self Clean:
Do not leave small children unattended near
the appliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the
oven can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the
oven with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution,
produce poor baking results and cause permanent damage to
the oven interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the
oven.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds
to another well-ventilated room.
Do not force the door open. This can damage
the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening
the oven door after self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot
and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side
of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or
steam to escape.
Important note:
Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from
oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks
are not removed they may discolor.
• Remove all items from the oven including bakeware, utensils
and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand
high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.
• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior.
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside
the oven door gasket and the small area at the front center
of the oven bottom (Figure 25). These areas heat sufficiently
to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting
Self Clean.
Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 25). The woven
material of the oven door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove
the gasket. Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven
door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door
gasket.
Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill on
the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before
starting a self clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water
and a cloth. Large spill residue can cause heavy smoke or
fire when subjected to high temperatures. Do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after
cleaning.
Figure 25: Oven door area to clean and not clean (gasket).
To set self clean:
1. Be sure the oven is empty and all oven racks are removed.
Remove all items from the oven. Be sure oven door is
completely closed.
2. Press Self Clean and the default 3 hour clean time will
appear in the display. You may accept the default 3 hour
clean time by going to step 3, or choose a different clean
time. Press Self Clean and use the numeric keys to select
any time between 2 hours and 4 hours. Once you have the
desired clean time selected proceed to step 3.
3. Press STARTto activate Self Clean. As soon as Self Clean
becomes active, a motor driven lock mechanism will begin
locking the oven door automatically and door Loc will
appear in the display (Figure 26 on page 24). Do not open
the oven door when door Loc is displayed (allow 15 seconds
for the lock mechanism to lock the oven).
Once the oven door has locked, CLn will appear in the display
indicating Self Clean has started.
Important note: Do not force the oven door open when self-
clean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking
system. Use caution when opening the door after self-clean
cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot.

When this message turns off the oven door may be opened.
3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away
any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper
towel.
Important note:
The kitchen area should be well ventilated. Use an open window,
ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle
to help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st self
clean cycle.
When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain locked
until the oven has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean
time that was programmed, allow about 1 additional hour for
the oven to cool before opening the oven door. The Self Clean
function will not operate when the oven lockout is active.
Setting Delay Start Self Clean
To start a delay Self Clean with default clean time of 3 hours
and a start time of 9:00 o'clock:

2. If Self Clean has heated the oven to a high temperature,
allow enough time for the oven to cool and the door Opn
message to appear (Figure 27). When this message turns
off the oven may be opened.
3. Before restarting Self Clean, be sure to read important
notes below.
Important note:
• When Self Clean is active you may check the amount of
clean time remaining by pressing the Self Clean key once.
If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display mode, the
Delay Start for a Self Clean can only be programmed to
start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes after the time showing in
the display (be sure to set the clock to current time before
programming a delay start). To set a Delay Start Self Clean
to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59
minutes) after the time of setting, be sure to first set the
control in the 24 Hr display mode.
If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power
failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly
cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean
cycle.
• If the oven temperature was high enough when Self Clean
was interrupted the oven control may not allow another Self
Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.
