During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, the oven door is locked. To prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open when LOCK is displayed.

Smoke and Smells

You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will turn off. The door can then be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to move.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went through heating and cooling. This is normal and will not affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect performance.

Notes:

If the oven door is left open, DOOR will appear in the display until the door is closed.

If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the Clean pad and the More+ or Less- pad, the program will automatically return to the previous display.

The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.
