Using the Self-Cleaning Oven
Setting the Oven Control for Self-Cleaning
Because of the very high temperatures used to clean the oven, the oven door must be locked during self-cleaning. The cleaning
time can be set for 2 hours of cleaning for light soiling, or up to 4 hours for heavy soiling. Use 3 hours for normal cleaning.
NOTE:
The self-clean cycle can only be started from the
OFF
position, not from the
BAKE
or
BROIL
position.
How to set the oven control for Self-Cleaning
1. Read and follow the instructions in
“BEFORE THE
SELF-CLEAN CYCLE”
.
2. With the oven door
closed, slide the latch
handle to the right as
far as it will go.
(Never force the latch handle or you could damage the
locking mechanism.)
3. PUSH and turn the
SELECTOR
knob from the
OFF
position to the
CLEAN
position.
4. The display will show
“Cln”
to
indicate that self-cleaning mode
has been selected.
5. Press the
UP ARROW
button to
display
“0:00”

buttons to increase or
decrease the cleaning time from the normal 3 hours.

remaining.
9. As the oven heats up, the door latch mechanism operates
to prevent the latch handle from being slid to the left,
and prevents the oven door from being opened.
10. Pressing the
CLOCK
button will display the time-of-day
for 3 seconds, before reverting back to the remaining
‘clean time’.
11. At the completion of the cleaning cycle, the
“OVEN

indicator light will go out,
“END”
will be
displayed, but the
“COOK TIME”
indicator will remain
on.
12. Turn the
SELECTOR
knob to the
OFF
position, and the
“COOK TIME”
indicator will go out, but the oven door
cannot be opened until the oven has cooled down.

additional hour for the
oven to cool down,
slide the latch handle
to the left, back to the
unlocked position.
NOTE:
To cancel the self-clean cycle after it has started,
turn the
SELECTOR
knob to
OFF
. Allow the oven to cool
down before attempting to unlatch the door.
How to set the oven control to delay start the
self-cleaning cycle
The control can also be set to start the self-clean cycle at
some time within the next 12 hours.

Say it is 6:00 now and you want the oven to
be cleaned for 4 hours starting at 7:00.
