How Long Should the
Self-Clean Cycle Last?
The self-clean cycle lasts a total of four
hours with a 1/2 hour cool down. After
the self-clean cycle ends, the oven
must cool before the oven door can be
opened. When the LOCKED light no
longer glows you can safely open the
oven door. DO NOT force the oven lock
or door open while the LOCKED light
shows. The oven door lock can be
damaged.
Interrupt Self-Clean Cycle
To stop a self-clean cycle that has
already started follow these steps. If the
interruption occurs mid cycle, the oven
will remain locked, even though the
cycle has been stopped, until the oven
cavity has cooled to a safe temperature.
1.
Turn oven temperature knob to OFF
position.
2.
When oven has cooled to a safe
temperature, LOCKED light flashes.
Door will unlock and can be
opened. DO NOT force lock or door.
This can cause damage to the latch.
