Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven

How to Delay Start of Cleaning

Delay Start is setting the oven timer to start the clean
cycle automatically at a later time than the present
time of day.
NOTE: Before beginning make sure the oven clock
shows the correct time of day.
For example: Let’s say it’s 7:00 and you want the
oven to begin self-cleaning at 10:00 after you’re
finished in the kitchen.
1. Prepare the oven for cleaning.
2. Close the oven door and slide
the latch handle to the right
as far as it will go. Make sure
the oven light is off.
Never force the door latch handle. Forcing the
handle may damage the door lock mechanism.
3. Press the AUTO CLEAN or AUTO
SELF CLEAN pad.
4. Press the + or – pad. The oven is set.
5. The Clean Time is preset for 3 hours. You can change
the Clean Time to any time between 2 and 4 hours,
depending on the amount of soil in your oven. If a
shorter Clean Time is desired, press the – pad until
the desired Clean Time is displayed.
6. Press the STOP TIME pad. “10:00”
appears in the display and “STOP
TIME” flashes.
The control automatically sets the
Stop Time by adding the Clean Time
to the time of day.
In this example, the time of day is 7:00
and the Clean Time is 3 hours. Adding 3
hours to the time of day equals 10:00.
7. Change the Stop Time from 10:00 to 1:00 by
pressing the + pad until “1:00” appears in the
display. The words “DELAY CLEAN” will also
appear in the display.
The self-clean cycle will automatically begin at 10:00
and finish at 1:00. The word “ON” will appear in the
display at 10:00.
When the oven locks, the word “LOCK” will be
displayed and a short time later the door latch handle
will be locked in position. It will not be possible to
open the oven door until the temperature drops below
the lock temperature.
When the clean cycle is finished, the word “CLEAN”
will go out in the display and the oven will begin to
cool. When the oven temperature has fallen below the
locking temperature the word ‘‘LOCK’’ goes out and
the door can be opened.
8. When the LOCK light is off, slide the latch handle
to the left as far as it will go and open the door.
Never force the latch handle. Wait until the
word ‘‘LOCK’’ goes out in the display. Forcing
the latch handle may damage the lock.
