Self-Cleaning

The cooktop lockout i_ feature will be activated during the self-clean and will unlock after the oven has cooled down.

Self-Clean Cycle Time Length

The FLEX CLEAN _x_ pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self- clean cycle remembe-Tl-o allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

*it is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).

To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. Stand to the

side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and

avoid

possible burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning

cycle has completed.

The oven may still be VERY

HOT.
