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.

Before Self-Cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or
the door will not lock and the Self-Cleaning cycle will not begin.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool, damp cloth
to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time, press OFF/CANCEL
or the Cancel keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door
will remain locked and “cool” and “locked/ ” will be displayed.
The cooling fan may continue to run.

The oven light will not function during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

On some models: Once the cleaning temperature has been
reached, the electronic control requires a 12 hour delay before
another Self-Cleaning cycle can be started.
