Setting the controls

1.Set the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to CLEAN.

2.Make sure the Clock, Start and Stop Times all have the right time of day.

3.Push in and turn the Stop Time Knob clockwise 2 or 3 hours.

lUse 2 hours for light soil.

lUse 3-4 hours for moderate to heavy soil.

NOTE: Make sure the Start Time Knob is out.

4.Move the Lock Lever all the way to the right -the Clean position. The Oven HEATING Signal Light will come on.

5.When the oven temperature exceeds normal baking temperatures, the door cannot be opened and the Lock Lever must not be moved.

6.After the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed and the oven temperature has dropped below approximately 520°F (271 “C),the Lock Lever can be moved back to the left. DO NOT FORCE IT. Wait until it moves easily. Turn the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to OFF.

7.After the oven is cool, wipe off any residue or ash with a damp cloth. If needed, touch up spots with a soapy steel wool pad.

Special tips

Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors and smoke.

Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

If the Self-Cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand clean areas noted on page 8.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time:

1.Push in and turn the Stop Time Knob clockwise until it points to the right time of day.

2.Turn the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to OFF. When the oven temperature drops below approximately 520°F (271 “C),move the Lock Lever back to the left. DO NOT FORCE IT. Wait until it moves easily.

How it works

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or

broiling...approximately 875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it Off.

This graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a Self- Cleaning cycle for 3 hours.

Self-Cleaning cycle -three hour setting (Approximate temperatures and times)

1000°F								536°C
800°F								427°C
600°F								316°C
400°F								204°C
200°F								93°C
START	l/2 hr.	1 hr.	1 l/2 hrs.	2 hn.	2 l/2 hrs.	3 hrs.	3 l/2 hrs.	STOP

Notice that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but that it takes longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
