Care & Cleaning

4. Press the Autoset pad.

• “LITE” (Light soil level) is displayed.

5.Press the Autoset pad to scroll through the self-cleaning settings.

“HVy” (Heavy Soil, 4 hours) “MEd” (Medium Soil, 3 hours) “LITE” (Light Soil, 2 hours)

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

6.After four seconds, CLEAN, DELAY and UPPER or LOWER will light and LOCK will flash in the display. When the oven door latches, LOCK will stop flashing and light continuously to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The delay time will display.

During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, both oven doors are locked. To prevent damage to the doors, do not force the doors 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.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will turn off. The doors 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 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.

Self-Clean Notes:

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

•If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the Clean pad and the Autoset pad, the program will automatically return to the previous display.

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

Sounds

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