•CL-H (Clean – Heavy Soil, 4 hours)

•CL-M (Clean – Medium Soil, 3 hours)

•CL-L (Clean – Light Soil, 2 hours)

Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs the self-cleaning time.

6.After four seconds, CLEAN, DELAY and LOCK will appear in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The delay time is displayed.

During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, the door cannot be opened. 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.

If the oven has already been set for a clean cycle and you wish to set a delay:

1. Press the DELAY pad.

• DELAY flashes.

• 00:00 will appear in the display.

2.Press the ▲ or ▼ pad to set the amount of time you want to delay the cycle.

After four seconds, CLEAN, DELAY and LOCK will appear in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation.

The delay time is displayed.

When the Self-Clean cycle starts:

•DELAY will turn off.

•The clean time will appear in the display.

To cancel the Self-Clean cycle:

Press the CANCEL pad.

•All words disappear from the display.

•All functions are canceled.

•The time of day appears in the display.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will turn off. The door can then be opened. Move door lock lever to the left to unlock.

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 re- moved 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 perfor- mance.

Notes:

•If the oven door is left open, “door” will flash in the display and a signal will beep until the door is closed and the CLEAN pad is pressed again.

•If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the CLEAN pad and the ▲ or ▼ 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.
