When Flex Clean is finished:

1.CLn message will turn off and Hot will appear in display window (See Fig. 3).

2.Once the oven has cooled down (about 1 hour) and Hot is no longer displayed the door OPn message will appear (Fig. 4). When this message turns off the oven door may be opened.

Use caution when opening the oven door after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

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

Important notes:

The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the 1st self-clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the 1st self-clean cycle.

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.

Important notes:

When Flex Clean function is active you may check the amount of clean time remaining by pressing the Flex Clean keypad once.

If your control is set with the default 12 hour display mode, the Delay Flex Clean can only be set to start up to 11 hours and 59 minutes in advance. To set a Delay Start Flex Clean to begin 12 or more hours (maximum is 23 hours and 59 minutes) in advance, be sure to set the control for 24 hour display mode.

If Flex Clean is active and then interrupted by power failure or cancelled before the oven was thoroughly cleaned, it may be necessary to run a self-clean cycle again. If the oven temperature was high enough when interrupted you may need to allow up to 4 hours for the oven to cool before Flex Clean can be started again.
