How the Cycle Works
IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the
oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and
popping sounds.
The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil
to a powdery ash.
The oven is preset for a 3
hour 30 minute clean cycle.
Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp
cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp
cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.
The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.
To Self-Clean:
Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is closed completely or
it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.
1. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Self-clean symbol.
2. Turn the Set Control knob to “On.”
3. Press the OK button to start a preset non-adjustable 3 hour
30 minute cycle.
To Delay Start Self-Clean:
Before delay starting Self-Clean, make sure the clock is set to the
correct time of day. See “Clock” section. Also, make sure the
door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not
begin.
1. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Self-clean symbol. “CLL”
will appear in the display, and the indicator arrow above the
self-clean symbol will blink.
2. Turn the Set Control knob to “On.”
3. Press the OK button to start a preset non-adjustable 3 hour
30 minute cycle.
4. Press the OK button twice. The time the cycle will end is
displayed and the End of Cooking indicator arrow will blink.
5. Turn the Set Control knob to the End of Cooking symbol.
6. Press the OK button. Both the Cooking Time and End of
Cooking indicator arrows will glow.
To Stop Self-Clean anytime:
Turn the Oven Control knob to the OFF position or press the
CANCEL button. If the oven temperature is too high, the door will
remain locked. It will not unlock until the oven cools.
