3.When the oven interior has completely cooled, wipe away any residue or powdered ash with a damp cloth or paper towel.

•When the clean time finishes the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled sufficiently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be able to open the oven door.

•The Flex Clean function will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON or the oven lockout is

active.
