How the Cycle Works

IMPORTANT: The heating and cooling of porcelain on steel in the oven may result in discoloring, loss of gloss, hairline cracks and popping sounds.

Before self-cleaning, make sure the door is completely closed or the door will not lock and the self-cleaning cycle will not begin.

Once the oven has completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth. To avoid breaking the glass, do not apply a cool damp cloth to the inner door glass before it has completely cooled.

To stop the self-cleaning cycle at anytime, press the CANCEL keypad. If the temperature is too high, the oven door will remain locked and “cool” and “locked” will be displayed.

The oven light will not function during the self-cleaning cycle.

Electronic Oven Control with Adjustable Self-Clean (HI - LO)

The self-cleaning cycle can be set at HI self-clean time (4 hours 30 minutes) or LO self-clean time (3 hours 30 minutes). The suggested clean times are 3 hours 30 minutes for light soil, or 4 hours 30 minutes for heavy soil. The last 30 minutes of the cycles is for cool down.

To Self-Clean:

1.Press SELF CLEAN to set the clean time to HI (4 hours 30 minutes).

2.Press the TEMP/TIME “+” or “-” keypads to cycle between LO and HI clean time.

3.Press START.

The oven door will automatically lock. The CLEAN indicator light will be displayed. The time remaining will also be displayed.

4.When the self-clean cycle is complete and the oven cools, the CLEAN indicator light will turn off.

5.When the oven is completely cooled, remove ash with a damp cloth.
