Flex Clean

As soon as Flex Clean becomes active, a motor driven lock mechanism will begin locking the oven door

automatically. DOOR LOCKED will appear in the display (See Fig. 1). DO NOT open the oven door when DOOR LOCKED is flashing (allow 15 seconds for the lock mechanism to lock the oven).

Once the oven door has locked, CLn will appear in the display indicating Flex Clean has started (Fig. 2).

When Flex Clean is finished:

1.CLn message will turn off and Hot will appear in display window (See Fig. 3).

2.Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed the DOOR LOCKED message will turn off. When this message turns off the oven door may be opened.

Use caution when opening the oven door after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

3.When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

important notes:

"The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st self-clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st self-clean cycle.

When the clean time finishes the oven door wilt remain locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be able to open the oven door.

"The Flex Clean function will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON or the oven lockout is

active.

Delayed Start Flex Clean

Example; to start a delay Flex Clean with default clean time of 3 hours and a start time of 9:00 o'clock:

]. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the oven is empty and ALL oven racks are removed. Be sure oven door is completely c!osed.

2.Press Delay Start key pad.

3.Using numeric key pad enter 9 0 0 for time to start.

4.Press sT_ to accept.

5.Press Flex Clean key pad.

6.Press START.

if it becomes necessary to stop Flex Clean when active:

[]

]. Press STOP.

2.If Flex Clean has heated the oven to a high temperature, allow enough time for the oven to cool and for the DOOR LOCKED message to turn OFF. When this message turns off the oven door may be opened.

3.Restart Flex Clean if needed.

important notes:

"When Flex Clean function is active you may check the amount of clean time remaining by pressing the Flex Clean key pad once.

If Flex Clean is active and a power failure occurs, the oven may not have thoroughly cleaned. This would depend on how much cleaning time had elapsed before the power failure. If needed after power is restored, set Flex Clean again.

If your control is set with the default 12 hour display

mode, the Delay Flex Clean can only be set to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes in advance. To set a Delay Start Flex Clean to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) in advance, be sure to set the control for 24 hour display mode.
