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 CANCEL. 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.

The Precise Clean™ self-cleaning cycle is a “one touch” step that uses very high temperatures and dissolves soil to a powdery ash. The Precise Clean™ cycle will automatically determine the length of cleaning time needed based on the number of times the oven has been used since the last self-cleaning cycle. The maximum clean time is 4 hours 30 minutes, and the minimum clean time is 2 hours 30 minutes.

To Self-Clean:

1.Close the oven door.

2.Press PRECISE CLEAN™. “CLEAN,” “SET,” and “UPPER” or “LOWER” will flash in the display.

3.Press PRESETS.

MEd (Medium soil, 3 hours) appears in the display.

If the door is not closed, oven will beep and “door” will appear in the display until the door is closed and the Clean pad is pressed again. If the door is not closed within

30 seconds, the self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display will return to the time of day.

4.To choose a clean setting other than medium, press PRESETS to scroll through the self-cleaning settings.

HVy (heavy soil, 4 hours) MEd (medium soil, 3 hours) LITE (light soil, 2 hours)

Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs the self-cleaning time.

5.After 4 seconds, the oven will start cleaning.

“CLEAN” will appear in the display. “LOCK” will flash in the display. Once both the oven doors lock, “LOCK” will remain lit. The cleaning time will count down in the display.

When the self-clean cycle ends:

“LOCK” will turn off approximately 1 hour after the end of the clean cycle. The door can then be opened.

To Delay Start Self-Clean:

Before delay starting the Precise Clean™ cycle, make sure the door is closed completely or it will not lock and the cycle will not begin.

1.Press DELAY once for upper oven or twice for lower oven.

“DELAY,” “00:00,” and “UPPER” or “LOWER” will flash in the display.

2.Using the number pads, enter the amount of time you want to delay the cycle. Delay time can be set from 10 minutes (00:10) to 11 hours and 59 minutes (11:59).

3.Press PRECISE CLEAN™. “SET” flashes in the display.

4.Press PRESETS.

“MEd” (medium soil level) is displayed.

5.To choose a clean setting other than medium, press the PRESETS to scroll through the self-cleaning settings.

HVy (heavy soil, 4 hours) MEd (medium soil, 3 hours) LITE (light soil, 2 hours)

Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs the self-cleaning time.

After 4 seconds, “CLEAN,” “DELAY,” and “UPPER” or “LOWER” will light and “LOCK” will flash in the display. When both oven doors lock, “LOCK” will stop flashing and stay lit to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The delay time is displayed.

To change the delay self-clean time:

1.Press DELAY.

“DELAY” flashes and “00:00” will appear in the display.

2.Press the number pads to enter the amount of time you want to delay the cycle.

After 4 seconds, “CLEAN,” “DELAY,” and “LOCK” will appear in the display to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The delay time is displayed.

When the self-clean cycle starts:

“DELAY” will turn off, and the clean time will appear in the display.

When the self-clean cycle ends:

“LOCK” will turn off approximately 1 hour after the end of the clean cycle. The door can then be opened.

To Stop Self-Clean Anytime:

Press CANCEL. All words disappear from the display. All functions are canceled. The time of day appears in the display.

Depending on the actual oven temperature when self-clean is canceled, the oven door may remain locked until the oven cools.
