Kenmore 790.4941 To Start the Self-Clean Cycle, Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle

To Start the Self-Clean Cycle

The Self-Cleankey controls the self Clean feature. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to 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.

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.
