What To Do
• To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a
minimum of 3 hours. See the Using the self-cleaning
oven section.
• This is temporary.
• Allow the range to cool to room temperature and
reset the controls.
• See the Using the self-cleaning oven section.
• Make sure you move the door latch handle all the way to
the right.
• Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF. Allow the
oven to cool. Never force the door latch handle.
• This is normal.
•Press the OFF pad. Open the windows to rid the room
of smoke. Wait until the light on the CLEAN pad goes
off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.
•Allow the oven to cool below locking temperature.
•See Using the self-cleaning oven section.
•Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean
cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean
again or for a longer period of time.
•This is normal
•Your range is equipped with a cooling fan to keep the
components under safety temperatures. Fan will turn
on/off automatically while the range is on Self-Clean cycle.
•This is normal.
Cooling Fan will be turned-on automatically for Broil Lo/Hi
and for High Baking temperatures (around 475° F) in order
to maintain safety temperatures for all components.

down below 375° F
