Oven Cleaning

(continued)

To Start the Self-Clean Cycle (Lower Oven)

*We recommend a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results).

To Set the Controls:

1.Make sure the clock is set to the correct time of day .

2.Turn the Selector Control knob to CLEAN.

3.Push the BAKE TIME pad.

4.Push the UP ARROW pad to enter the amount of time you want the clean cycle to operate. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil you have—light, medium or heavy. *See above.

5.If you wish to set a delayed clean cycle, push the STOP TIME pad and enter the time you wish the clean cycle to end. The automatic timer will turn the oven on and off at the time you select in advance. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the lock to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So to self-clean for 3 hours will actually take about 4 hours to complete.

6.Move the oven door locking lever to the right. When the oven reaches high cleaning temperatures, the "Lock" light will come on and you will not be able to unlock the door until the oven has cooled below 550°F.

7.After the desired cleaning time has elapsed, the buzzer will sound and the oven will turn off.

8.Be sure to turn the Selector Control knob to OFF when the self-cleaning cycle is completed.

9.Once the oven has cooled below 550°F and the "Cleaning" light has gone out, the oven door can now be opened. To open the door, move the locking lever back to the left.

Use care when opening the oven door. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

DO NOT force the oven door or the manual door locking lever open. Forcing the door open can damage the door lock. The oven must cool for approximately 1 hour (or below 550°F) before the door lock can be opened. Use caution when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
