How to Delay the Start of Cleaning

Make sure the clock shows the correct

time of day.

Latch the door.
Turn the Oven Temperature knob 

to 

CLEAN.

On some models, you must push the

knob in before turning.
Press the 

START TIME ON/OFF

pad.

Press the 

HOUR

and 

MIN.

pads to set

the time cleaning will start.

When the 

CLEAN

light flashes, slide 

the latch handle to the left as far as it 

will go and turn the Oven Temperature

knob to

OFF.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the

oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after

the oven cools. 

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-
filled steel wool pad and 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. 

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.

If the shelves become hard to slide,

apply a small amount of vegetable oil or

cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe

the edges of the oven shelves with the

paper towel.
