·SECURE key. Keep in mind that the oven door will remain locked until it is safe enough to open. The lock symbol will disappear from the display when the door lock is released. You will still need to exercise caution when the door lock is released because the inside of the oven may still be hot.

The door latch will release when the inside has cooled down. The clean icon, lock icon and “ON“ will disap- pear from the display. Exercise caution because the oven will still be hot (about 400°F) at the time the door lock is released.

You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of the oven after self cleaning. This condition is normal. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe up the residue after the oven cools down.

Self Cleaning Tips

If any soil remains in the oven after the self clean cycle is done, you may repeat the cycle if you want.

Self clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up. Doing so will make the self clean cycle work better and reduce smoke and odors.
