How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
OVEN TEMP
1. Turn the OVEN SET knob to CLEAN. Push in and
turn the OVEN TEMP knob to CLEAN. The controls
will snap into the final position when the CLEAN
location is reached.
2. Slide the latch handle to the right
as far as it will go.
Never force the door latch handle.
Forcing the handle may damage
the door lock mechanism.
3. Set
the
automatic
oven timers.
Make sure the range clock is set to the correct time
of day. Clear the DELAY START and STOP TIME
dials of any previous timed cooking or cleaning
function by: one at a time, push the DELAY START
and STOP TIME dials in and turn the dials. Using a
light touch, continue turning the dial until it “pops”
out. Both dials should now be in the out position.
Decide on the cleaning hours necessary.
Light to Moderate Soil—2-3 hours (thin spills
and light spatters).
Heavy
hours (heavy, greasy spills and
spatters).
Add these hours to the present time of day, then push
in and turn the STOP TIME dial clockwise to this later
stop time.
The oven door gets hot during self-cleaning. DO NOT
TOUCH.
The CLEANING light will glow, indicating the
controls have been set correctly and the clean
has begun. If a delayed start has been selected, the
CLEANING light will not glow until the start time
has been reached and the clean cycle begins. The door
will lock approximately 20 minutes after the clean
cycle has begun.
4. When the clean cycle is complete,
you will be able to slide the door
latch handle to the left as far as it
will go and open the door.
Never force the door latch handle. If you
cannot slide the latch easily to unlock the door,
allow additional time for cooling.
Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF.
