A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high
temperatures (well above cooking temperatures)
which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a
fine powdered ash you can whisk away with damp
cloth. If you are planning to use the oven directly
after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for
the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock.
This normally takes about one hour.
Setting the controls for a Self-Clean cycle
The clean feature provides 3 different choices for
self-cleaning the upper oven. Set the clean for lite
(2 hrs), med (3 hrs) or heavy soils (4 hrs). The
example below shows setting the upper oven for
self-clean to begin immediately using a medium (3
hour) setting:
Starting self-clean cycle
Note: When the oven is set to run a self-clean
cycle, the motor door lock will begin locking the
oven door. Do not open the oven door while
the lock motor is running or when any locking
indicators or displays are showing. The oven door
is completely locked in about 15 seconds.
• During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the
appliance can become very hot to the touch. DO
NOT leave small children unattended near the
appliance; they may be burned if they touch the
hot oven door surfaces.
• Do not force the oven door open when self-
clean is active. This can damage the automatic
door-locking system. Use caution when open-
ing the door after self-clean cycle is complete;
the oven may still be very hot.
•
The oven bake and broil elements may appear
to have cooled after they have been turned off.
The elements may still be hot and burns may
occur if these elements are touched before
they have cooled.
•
To avoid possible burns, use care when open-
ing the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle.
Stand to the side of the oven when opening the
door to allow hot steam and air to escape.
To set the controls for a delayed Self-
Cleaning cycle:
The example below shows setting the upper oven
for a medium (3 hour) self-clean to end at 6:00
o’clock:
When the Self-Clean Cycle is
Completed:
1. The time of day and “
DOOR
” will remain ON.
2. The display will show an “Hot” message while
the oven is still too hot to open door.
3. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR,
and the “
DOOR
” icon is no longer
displayed, the oven door can then be opened.
