Care & Cleaning
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time
for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.
So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

To start a Self-Cleaning cycle:
1. Be sure oven is empty and the oven door is closed.

Clean
position.
3. The corresponding indicator light will flash.
4. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to Clean position.
5. The Lock indicator light will flash while transitioning from unlock to lock. It will stop
flashing when the door is locked.
Note
If the “racks” indicator light is flashing when the clean mode is initiated, the oven racks and rack
glides with supports have not been removed. It will continue flashing, once the selector knob is set
back to the off position and the racks and rack glides with supports are removed from the oven.
6. As soon as the controls are set to clean, the motor driven oven door lock will begin to
close automatically. Once the door has been locked the indicator light will stop flashing
and remain on. Allow about 30 seconds for the oven door lock to close.
