OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

How to Set Delay Start of Cleaning (on some models)

Quick Reminder:

1.Latch the door.

2.Turn the Oven Set knob to CLEAN.

3.Press the START TIME ON/OFF pad.

4.Press the HOUR and MIN. pads to set the time of day you want cleaning to start. The self-clean cycle will automatically begin at the time you selected.

Delay Start is setting the oven to start the clean cycle automatically at a later time than the present time of day.

For example: Let’s say it is 7:00 and you want the oven to begin self-cleaning at 9:00 after you’re finished in the kitchen. The oven is just soiled a normal amount so the normal Clean Time of 4 hours and 20 minutes is preferred.

1.Follow steps to prepare the oven for cleaning.

2.Slide the latch handle to the right as far as it will go.

Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

3.Turn the Oven Set knob to the CLEAN position.

4.Press the START TIME ON/OFF pad.

5.Press the HOUR pad until 9:00 appears in the display. The timer is now set to start cleaning in 2 hours, at 9:00.

The self-clean cycle will be set to automatically begin at 9:00 and finish at 1:20.

Both the OVEN ON light and the CLEAN light will flash when the Clean Time is finished.

6.When the CLEAN light flashes, slide the latch handle to the left as far as it will go, turn the Oven Set knob to OFF and open the door.

Never force the latch handle. Wait until the CLEAN light flashes and the latch slides easily. Forcing the latch handle may damage the door lock.

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day, you will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any part of this oven. If you do use them and do not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q.Can I clean the woven gasket around the oven door?

A.No, this gasket is essential for a good oven seal, and care must be taken not to rub, damage or move this gasket.

Q.The CLEAN light flashes when I set the clean cycle. What’s wrong?

A.The CLEAN light will flash until the latch is moved to the right.

Q.Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear during cleaning normal?

A.Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the Oven Set knob to OFF. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the CLEAN light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven is self-cleaning?

A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use the cooktop just as you normally do.
