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.

CLn message will turn off and Hot will appear in display
window (See Fig. 3).
2. Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot

appear (Fig. 4). 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 notes:
• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an
open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the
1st self-clean cycle. This will 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 range has cooled sufficiently. In
addition to the clean time that was programmed,
you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven
to cool before you will be able to open the oven
door.
• The Self Clean function will not operate whenever a
radiant surface element is ON or the Control Lock is
active.
