Self-cleaning

Self-clean feature uses high oven temperature to clean oven interior.
For the oven to operate through a complete self-clean cycle, the
self-clean must be set when the oven is cool.
1. Prepare oven for self-cleaning (see below left).
2. Close door.
3. Press CLEAN pad.
• SET CLEAN TIME flashes in display.
• The default self-clean cycle length of 3 hours displays.
• Adjust clean cycle length by using digit pads (1 through 0).
• Clean cycle can be set from two to four hours in one minute
increments.
4. Press START pad.
• CLEAN, TIME, LOCK, ON and both bake
and broil element graphics display.
• Surface burners should not be used until
completion of self-clean cycle.
• At the end of self-clean cycle, ON no longer
displays.
• LOCK will remain on until oven reaches a cooler temperature.
• LOCK will flash while door is unlocking, and then shut off when
door has unlocked. Oven cavity will be hot to the touch.
DO NOT attempt to open door prior to LOCK shutting off.
Interrupting the self-clean cycle
To stop a self-clean cycle that has already started follow these steps.
If the interruption occurs mid cycle, the oven will remain locked, even
though the cycle has stopped, until the oven cavity has cooled to a
lower temperature.
1. Press OVEN CANCEL.
2. When oven has cooled to a lower temperature, LOCK light
turns off. Door can be opened. DO NOT force door.
This can cause damage to the latch.
Operating surface burners during a self-clean cycle
Your range is equipped with a safety feature to prevent it from overheating
during a self-clean cycle. A special temperature sensor shuts off the self-
clean cycle if the range becomes too hot. Depending on the range and the
length of cooking time on the surface burners, the sensor may or may not
shut off the self-clean cycle. To prevent any self-clean cycle disruption, it is
best not to use the range surface burners during a self-clean cycle.
