How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Quick Reminder:

1.Latch the door.

2.Turn the Oven Temperature knob to

AUTO SELF CLEAN.

If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean cycle, you will not be able to slide the latch.

Allow additional time for cooling before you try to set the cycle.

1.Follow directions 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 Temperature knob to AUTO SELF CLEAN. The AUTO SELF CLEAN, AUTOMATIC OVEN, OVEN ON and COOK TIME ON/OFF lights will glow.

NOTE: If you turn the Oven Temperature knob before you slide the latch, the LATCH DOOR light will flash. Slide the latch to the right.

Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours and

20 minutes. On all models except JBP65, you can change the clean time to anywhere between 3 hours and 5 hours, and 59 minutes, depending on how dirty your oven is.

You have one minute to change your clean time. Use the HOUR and MIN. pads to change the total clean time.

Both the OVEN ON light and the LATCH DOOR light will flash when the clean time is finished.

After using the clean cycle, the door latch and the Oven Temperature knob must be returned to their original positions before you can use the oven.

When the LATCH DOOR light flashes, slide the latch handle to the left as far as it will go, turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF and open the door.

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

To Stop A Clean Cycle

1.Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF.

2.Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the oven has cooled below the locking temperature.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven.

Just wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap- filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the Clean Cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one Clean Cycle,

repeat the cycle.

NOTE:

•You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to be unlatched.

•While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean count down, press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad.

•If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.
