OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN
(continued)
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning
Easy Steps:
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 in the Before a Clean Cycle section.
2.After closing the door, 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 light will glow.
NOTE: If you turn the Oven Temperature knob before you slide the latch, the AUTO SELF CLEAN light will flash. Slide the latch to the right.
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours and 20 minutes. You can change the clean time to any time between 3 hours and 5 hours and 59 minutes, depending on how soiled your oven is.
You have 1 minute to change your clean time. Use the HOUR and MIN. pads to change the total clean time.
Both the OVEN ON and AUTO SELF CLEAN lights will flash when the Clean Time is finished. 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 AUTO SELF CLEAN 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 (approximately 1 hour) 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 program the oven for Timed Baking before the door automatically unlocks.
•While the oven is
•If the shelves become hard to slide, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.
