2.
Press
or
.
"CLn"
will flash and
"3:00" HR
will show in the display
(Figure 1). The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour period (default self-
cleaning cycle time). Note: If a 2 or 4 hour clean time is desired, press
for 2
hour or press
for a 4 hour clean time. Set the cleaning time based on the
amount of soil; light, medium or heavy (* See above).
3.
Press
or
. The
"DOOR LOCKED"
icon will flash; and the letters
"CLn"
will remain on in the display (Figure 2).
4.
As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door lock will begin to close
automatically. Once the door has been locked the "
DOOR LOCKED
" indicator
light will stop flashing and remain on. Also, the oven icon will appear in the
display (Figure 3).
Note: Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed:
1.
The time of day and "
DOOR LOCKED
" will remain on (Figure 4).
2.
Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR, and the "
DOOR LOCKED
" icon is
no longer displayed, the oven door can then be opened (Figure 5).
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 in the oven:
1.
Press
or
.
2.
Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR and the "
DOOR
LOCKED
" icon is no longer displayed,the oven door can then be opened (Figure 5).
The
or
pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven
directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the
oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So to self-clean for 3 hours will
actually take about 4 hours to complete.
*
It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for
light soils
, a 3 hour cycle for
average soils
, and a 4 hour cycle for
heavy soils
(to assure satisfactory results).
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the range can become very
hot to the touch.
DO NOT
leave small children unattended near the appliance; they may be
burned if they touch the hot oven door surfaces.
DO NOT
force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door
locking system. 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. The
oven may still be VERY HOT.
