Oven Controls

As soon as Self Clean becomes active, a motor driven lock 
mechanism will begin locking the oven door automatically and 
door Loc will appear in the display (

Figure 19

). Do not open the 

oven door when door Loc is displayed (allow 15 seconds for the 
lock mechanism to lock the oven).

Once the oven door has locked, CLn will appear in the display 
indicating Self Clean has started.

 

When Self Clean is finished:

 

 Use caution when opening the oven door after 

self cleaning. The oven may still be very hot and can cause 
burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when 
opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

1.

Cln message will turn off and Hot will appear in display 
window (

Figure 20

).

2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is 

no longer displayed, the door Opn message will appear. 
When this message turns off the oven door may be opened.

3. When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away 

any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper 
towel.

Important note: 

The kitchen area should be well ventilated. Use an open window, 
ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the first self clean cycle 
to help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st self 
clean cycle.

When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain locked 
until the oven has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean 
time that was programmed, allow about 1 additional hour for 
the oven to cool before opening the oven door. The Self Clean 
function will not operate when the oven lockout is active.

allow enough time for the oven to cool and the door Opn 
message to appear (

Figure 20

). When this message turns 

off the oven may be opened.

3. Before restarting Self Clean, be sure to read important 

notes below.

Important note: 

When Self Clean is active you may check the amount of 
clean time remaining by pressing the Self Clean key once.

If your clock is set with the (default) 12 hr display mode, the 
Delay Start for a Self Clean can only be programmed to 
start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes after the time showing in 
the display (be sure to set the clock to current time before 
programming a delay start). To set a Delay Start Self Clean 
to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 
minutes) after the time of setting, be sure to first set the 
control in the 24 Hr display mode.

If Self Clean was active and then interrupted by a power 
failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly 
cleaned, it may be necessary to run another Self Clean 
cycle. 

If the oven temperature was high enough when Self Clean 
was interrupted the oven control may not allow another Self 
Clean cycle to be set for up to 4 hours.
