Questions and Answers
Q. Why won’t my oven clean
immediately even though I set all
the time and clean knobs correctly?
A. Check to be sure your DELAY
START dial is set to the same time
as the range clock. Also check to
be sure latch handle is moved to
the right.
Q. If my oven clock is not working,
can I still self-clean my oven?
A. No. Your Automatic Oven
Timer uses the range clock to help
start and stop the self-cleaning
cycle.

cleaners on any part of my
self-
cleaning oven?
A. No
cleaners or coatings should
