Maytag W10345638A Prepare Cooktop, How the Cycle Works, To Self-Clean, To Delay Start Self-Clean

Prepare Cooktop:

■Remove plastic items from the cooktop because they may melt.

NOTE: The cooktop warming center will not function during the self-clean cycle.

IMPORTANT:

Oven temperature must be below 400°F (205°C) to program a clean cycle.

Only 1 oven can be cleaned at a time.

Both oven doors lock when either oven is being cleaned.

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.

The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash.

The oven is preset for a 3 hour clean cycle; however, the time can be changed. Suggested clean times are 2 hours for light soil and between 3 hours and 4 hours for average to heavy soil.

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.

The oven light will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

On some models, the surface elements will not work during the Self-Cleaning cycle.

When “LOCK” shows in the display, the door cannot be opened. To avoid damage to the door, do not force the door open when “LOCK” is displayed.

If an oven door is left open, “Door Open? Clean Canceled” will appear in the display and a signal will beep. Close the oven door and press SELF CLEAN.

NOTE: Only one oven can use the Self-Clean cycle at a time, and 24 hours must pass before the next Self-Clean can begin.
