How Long Should the
Self-Clean Cycle Last?
The self-clean cycle can be set from
2 to 4 hours. Minimum recommended
cleaning time is 3 hours. After the

opened. When the LOCKED light no
longer glows in the display, you can
safely open the oven door. DO NOT
force the oven door open while the
LOCKED light shows in the display.
The oven door lock can be damaged.
