Self-Cleaning

What to Expect during Cleaning

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher than those
used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction are normal. Odor is
also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may appear through the oven
vent. Ifheavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause
more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not cause alarm.
Ifavailable, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.
The cooktop lockout 191feature will be activated during the self-clean and will unlock
after the oven has cooled down.

Self-Clean Cycle Time Length

The FLEX CLEAN _ pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature. If you are planning
to use the oven directly after aself-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven
to cool down and the ovendoor to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So
a 3 hourself-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 hourcycle for
average soils, and a 4hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).
INSTRUCTIONS PRESS

burns use care when opening 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.
