Whirlpool FGS385V, FGS395V manual To stop the Self-Cleaningcycle at any time, How it works

Setting the controls

1.Make sure the Clock is set to the right time of day. (See “Setting the clock” on page 5.)

2.Move the Lock Lever all the way to the right - the Clean position.

Push the Clean button. A 3-hour Self-Cleaning cycle will be set automatically. “3:OO”will show in the large display. The CLEAN and TIME indicators on the left side of the display and the CLEAN and

6.After the Self-Cleaning cycle is completed, the time-of-day will show in the large display.

When the oven reaches normal baking temperatures, the LOCK and CLEAN indicators go off. Move the Lock Lever back to the left. Do not force it. Wait until it moves easily.

After the oven is cool, wipe off any residue or ash with a damp cloth. If needed, touch up spots with a soapy steel wool pad.

Special tips

1 Keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the Self-Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors and smoke.

n Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled. Cleaning a very soiled oven takes longer and results in more smoke than usual.

1 If the Self-Cleaning cycle doesn’t get the oven as clean as you expected, the cycle may not have been set long enough or you may not have prepared the oven properly. Set the Self-Cleaning cycle longer the next time and hand clean areas noted on page 10.

To stop the Self-Cleaning cycle at any time:

1.Press the CLEAN button and turn the Time/Temp Set Knob until “0:OO”shows m the large display.

2.When the LOCK and CLEAN indicators go off, move the Lock Lever back to the left. Do not force it. Wait until it moves easily.

ON indicators on the right side of the display will come on.

NOTE: If the Clean button is pushed when the door is not latched, “door” will appear in the large display. Move the Lock Lever all the way to the right to latch the door. If any other command button is pushed when the door is latched, the oven will not receive the command. Move the Lock Lever back to the left to unlatch the door after the LOCK indicator goes off.

(Option) Delayed clean: Push the Clean button. Immediately push the Stop Time button. Immediately turn the Time/Temp Set Knob to the new stop time. The TIME and STOP indicators will come on.

After the stop time has been set, the large display will go back to showing the current time-of-day. To see the start time, push the Clean button and hold it for 3 seconds.

After the Self-Cleaning cycle is started, the LOCK indicator will come on when the oven temperature exceeds normal baking temperatures. The Lock Lever must not be moved and the door cannot be opened when this indicator is on.

How it works

During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or broiling...approximately 875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off.

This graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a Self- Cleaning cycle for three hours.

(Approximate temperatures and times)

1000°F						538°C
800°F						427°C
600°F						316°C
400°F						204°C
200°F						93°C
START	l/2 hr.	1 hr.	1 l/2 hrs. 2 hrs.	2 l/2 hrs.	3 hrs.	3 l/2 hrs. STOP

Notice that the heating stops when the 3-hour setting is up, but that it takes longer for the oven to cool down enough to unlock.
