A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which
eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with damp cloth.
If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the
oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour.
STARTING SELF-CLEAN CYCLE
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the wall oven can become very hot to the touch.
DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance; they may be burned if they touch the hot oven
door surfaces.
DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. 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.
