6. After four seconds, CLEAN, DELAY and LOCK will appear

in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed
clean operation.  The delay time is displayed and will begin
to count down.

Notes:

• If the oven door is left open, DOOR will appear in the

display until the door is closed.

• If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the

Clean pad and the

 More+ 

or 

Less- 

pad, the program

will automatically return to the previous display.

• The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is

forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.

During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, the oven door is locked. To
prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open when
LOCK is displayed.

Smoke and Smells

You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few
times the oven is cleaned.  This is normal and will lessen in
time.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a
broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts
expanding and contracting.  This is normal and will not
damage the oven.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK
will turn off.  The door can then be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash.

  Remove

it with a damp cloth.  If soil remains after wiping, that means
the clean cycle was not long enough.  The soil will be
removed during the next clean cycle.

If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide
smoothly after a clean cycle

, wipe racks and rack supports

with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to
move.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went
through heating and cooling

.  This is normal and will not

affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic
or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean
cycle

.  This discoloration is normal and will not affect

performance.

When the Self-Clean cycle starts:

• DELAY will turn off.

• CLEAN, HOURS, LOCK and the clean time will appear

in the display.

To cancel the Self-Clean cycle:

Press the 

CANCEL

 pad.

• All words disappear from the display.

• All functions are canceled.

• The time of day appears in the display.
