Oven Cleaning
Self-Clean Cycle Time Length
The
SPEED CLEAN (some models)
and
CLEAN
pads control the
Self-Cleaning feature. 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 a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours
to complete.
*
It is recommend to use a Speed Clean cycle (2 hour, some
models) for
light soils
, a Clean cycle (3 hour) for
average soils
and
heavy soils
(to assure satisfactory results).
To avoid possible burns use care
when opening the oven door after the Self-
Cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven
when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to
escape.
DO NOT
force the oven door open.
This can damage the automatic door locking
system. Use caution and avoid possible burns
when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning
cycle has completed. The oven may still be
VERY HOT.

Important Notes
when using the Self-Clean Feature:

feature is active.
2.
When Self-Clean cycle is active on one oven, the other one cannot be used or set for a Self-Clean cycle or any
cooking cycle.
3.
If your clock is set for normal 12 hour display mode the delay Self-Clean can never be set to start more than 12
hours in advance. To set for a delayed Self-Cleaning cycle 12-24 hours in advance see instructions to set control for
the 24 hour time of day display mode.
