2.Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high clean- ing temperatures.

3.Remove oven racks. If they go through the clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. Rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

4.Remove any excess spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.

DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

5.Clean any soil from the oven frame, the area under the door, and the outside edge of the oven around the oven seal before self-clean cycle. These areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

6.Do not turn on the oven light during self-cleaning. The light may fail due to excessive heat.

Self-Clean

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.

!CAUTION

To avoid risk of personal injury, 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. The oven may still be

VERY HOT.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system.

1.Confirm clock shows the correct time of day.

2.Press CLEAN pad.

•“CLN TIME” displays.

3.Press and hold or pad until “3 HR:00” displays.

•Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you have—light, medium or heavy. *See above.

•When the controls are set, the motor driven lock begins to close automatically and the “LOCKED” indicator light will be displayed. (It takes about 15 seconds for the lock to close.)

•“Clean” light comes on. “Oven” light comes on and cycles with the oven burners.

To Stop or Interrupt a Self-Cleaning Cycle

If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire:

1.Press OVEN CANCEL pad.

2.Once the oven has cooled down for approximately

1 HOUR and “LOCKED” in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened.

•If the self-cleaning cycle is cancelled while at a high temperature, make sure the word “LOCKED” is not in the display and the oven has cooled down for at least 1 HOUR before trying to open the oven door.

When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed

1.The time-of-day appears in the display window and the word “LOCKED” remains in the display until oven cools.

2.Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR and the word “LOCKED” shown in the display has gone out, then the oven door can be opened.

•DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the door after the self- cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be

VERY HOT.
