How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
The oven is preset for a 3 hour 30 minute clean cycle, however
the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours
30 minutes for light soil and between 3 hours 30 minutes and
4 hours 30 minutes for average to heavy soil.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. Do not wipe down any of the inside surfaces until the oven
has completely cooled down. Applying a cool damp cloth to the
inner door glass before it has completely cooled could result in
the glass breaking.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
Press the HOUR and MIN “+” or “-” arrow pads to set a clean
time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. You can select a time
between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes. The last
30 minutes of the self-cleaning cycle is a cool down period.
2. Press START.
The oven door will automatically lock and “DOOR LOCKED”
or “LOCKED,” and the start time will appear on the oven
display. The door will not unlock until the oven cools.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will
appear on the oven display and “DOOR LOCKED” or
“LOCKED” will disappear from the display.
3. Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven
display.
To Delay Start Self-Clean:
Before delay starting Self-Clean, make sure the clock is set to the
correct time of day. See “Clock” section. Also, make sure the
door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not
begin.
1. Press AUTO CLEAN.
Press the HOUR and MIN “+” or “-” arrow pads to set a clean
time other than 3 hours 30 minutes. The clean time can be set
between 2 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes.
2. Press STOP TIME.
3. Press the HOUR and MIN “+” or “-” arrow pads to enter the
time of day to stop.
4. Press START.
The start time is automatically calculated and displayed.
The door will automatically lock and “LOCKED,” “CLEAN”
and “DELAY TIMED” will appear on the display. The door will
not unlock until the oven cools.
When the start time is reached, the oven will automatically
turn on.
When the cycle is complete and the oven cools, “End” will
appear on the display and “LOCKED” will disappear.
5. Press any pad or open the oven door to clear the oven
display.
To Stop Self-Clean anytime:
Press OFF/CANCEL. If the oven temperature is too high, the door
will remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
