How to Set Oven for Cleaning

Step 1:

●Turn OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP knobs to CLEAN. Controls will snap into final position when the CLEAN location is reached.

Step 2:

. Slide the latch handle to the right as far as it will go.

Step 3:

●Set the automatic oven timer:

. Make sure both the clock and the DELAY START dial show the correct time of day. When the DELAY START knob is pushed in and turned, it will “pop” into place when the time shown on the clock is reached.

s Push in and turn STOP TIME knob. Set Stop Time for three hours later than present time of day—for example, if it is 6:00 now, set Stop Time for 9:()().

The oven cycling light (below OVEN TEMP knob). the CLEANING light and the OVEN ON light will glow, indicating that the self-clean cycle has begun. When the oven reaches a certain temperature, the oven door will lock. The latch handle cannot be moved until oven cleaning is complete and the oven cools down. Oven door and window (on models so equipped) get hot during self- clean cycle. DO NOT TOUCH.

The oven will smoke the first time you use the self-clean cycle even though you have wiped up any excessive soil. This is normal and should stop in about 10 minutes. To help control the smoke, turn on the exhaust fan over the range when you use the self-clean cycle the first time.
