Self-Cleaning

To Start the Self-Clean Cycle

*

We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for 

light soils

 and a 3 hour cycle for

average to heavy soils

 (to assure satisfactory results).

To Set the Controls for a Self-Clean Cycle:

1. Be sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

2. Push 

. "— — —" appears in the display.

3. Push the

 

until "3:00" appears in the display for a 3 hour cycle, or push

the

 until "2:00" appears in the display for a 2 hour cycle.

4. As soon as the

 or

 is released, "CLn" appears in the display.

5. As soon as the controls are set, the motor driven lock will begin to close

automatically and the "LOCK" indicator light will flash. 

DO NOT

 open the

door while the light is flashing (it takes about 15 seconds for the lock to

close).

6. The "LOCK" light will glow until the cleaning cycle is completed or cancelled,

and the oven temperature has cooled.

When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:

1. The time of day  or “End” will appear in the display window and the “Clean”

and "LOCK" light will continue to glow.

2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has

gone out, the oven door can be opened.

3. If  “End”  is  in  the  display  and  the  “Clean”  indicator  remains  on,  press

CANCEL or CLEAR

.  The time of day will appear in the display.

Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle

If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive

smoke or fire:

1. Push 

CLEAR

 or CANCEL

2. Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 HOUR and the "LOCK" light has

gone out, the oven door can be opened.

3. Correct the condition which caused the smoking.

4. Restart the self-clean cycle once all conditions have been corrected.

 Use care when opening

the  oven  door  after  the  self-cleaning

cycle.  Stand  to  the  side  of  the  oven

when opening the door to allow hot air

or steam to escape.

 

DO NOT

 force the oven

door  open.  This  can  damage  the

automatic  door  locking  system.  Use

caution when opening the door after

the  self-cleaning  cycle  is  completed.

The oven may still be VERY HOT.
