Self-Cleaning Cycle
NOTE
A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the
smoke into a colorless vapor.
Self Clean Cycle
The
SELF CLEAN
pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature.
When used with a the Delay Start pad, a delayed Self-
Cleaning cycle may also be programmed. The Self Clean
feature allows for any Self-Cleaning cycle time from 2
(2:00) to 4 hours (4:00). You may also choose the clean time
in 1 minute increments (for example 2 hours and 50 minutes)
by pressing the corresponding number keypads.
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 2 hour self-clean cycle for
light soils
,
a 3 hour cycle for
average soils
, and a 4 hour cycle for
heavy
soils
(to assure satisfactory results).
NOTE:
The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an
open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the
Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors
associated with the Self-Clean cycle.
See example below to start an immediate Self-Cleaning
cycle or to set a Delay Start time of 9:00 o’clock and shut-
o
ff
automatically (example provided is a default 3 hour
Self-Clean cycle)
1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the
oven is EMPTY and the oven door is closed.
2. Press
SELF CLEAN
.
The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour period
(default self-cleaning cycle time). Note: If a 2 or 4 hour
clean time is desired, press
2 0 0
for 2 hour or press
4 0
0
for a 4 hour clean time. Set the cleaning time based
on the amount of soil: light, medium or heavy (*See
above).
Note: If the optional delay Self-Clean feature is needed,
fi
nish steps 3-4.
3. Press
DELAY START
.
4. Enter the desired Self-Clean starting time using the
number pads
9 0 0
.
5. Press
START
.
Note:
Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close.
As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door
lock will begin to close automatically. Once the door
has been locked the “
DOOR LOCKED
” indicator light
will stop
fl
ashing and remain on.
The control will calculate forward from the set start time
to determine when the Self-Cleaning cycle should end.
The Self-Cleaning cycle will turn on automatically at the
set time.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed
Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR,
and the “
DOOR LOCKED
” icon is no longer displayed, the
oven door can then be opened.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning
cycle due to excessive smoke or
fi
re in the oven:
1. Press
STOP
.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1
HOUR, and the “
DOOR LOCKED
” icon is no longer
displayed, the oven door can then be opened.
CAUTION
• 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
• If a self-clean cycle was started but did not
fi
nish due
to a power failure, your oven may not be completely
cleaned. After power has been restored and the oven
door has unlocked, set for another self-clean if needed.
• The oven will need to cool down before starting another
self-clean cycle. The oven controls will force a delay of 4
hours between cycles.
