Delayed 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.Press OVEN CANCEL pad.

2.Once the oven has cooled for approximately

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

When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed

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

2.Once the oven has cooled 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.
