window of the oven being set to CLEAN.
• The word door appears in the CLOCK•TIMER window and the oven beeps
until the door is latched.
• The word COOK appears continuously in the CLOCK •TIMER window, while
the oven is set for clean.
• When the oven temperature reaches approximately 550˚F, the word LOCK
appears in the Oven Selector window and stays on. Once the word LOCK
appears, the door cannot be opened until the word LOCK turns off. Before
the oven reaches 550
°
F, unlock the door by turning the Selector Knob to OFF.

when the word LOCK turns off. DO NOT try to open the oven door while
the word LOCK is blinking.
At the End of the Cleaning Cycle
• The word HEAT turns off.
• The word LOCK continues to glow until the oven temperature drops to a
cooking temperature (less than 525˚F). The oven door cannot be opened until
the word LOCK disappears from the Oven Selector window. Unlatch the
door.
• Wipe out any ash remaining in the oven.
• Wipe out any smoke residue that remains on the porcelain enamel with
Formula 409

. If stain remains, use a mild liquid abrasive cleanser
like Soft Scrub

. The amount of smoke stain is directly related to the amount
of food soil left in the oven prior to self cleaning.
