Care and Cleaning 2. Remove the broiler pan, all cookware, utensils and other loose items from the oven chamber. Also, remove all oven racks to prevent them from permanently discoloring. You may leave the convection filter in place during self-clean to loosen stubborn particles, but it will discolor. However, if discolored, its filtering capabilities will not be harmed. See page 16 for convection filter removal if you want to prevent discoloration. 3. Wipe up excess grease and other food spills with a damp cloth to minimize smoke and increase the efficiency during self-clean. 4. Turn on kitchen fans or vents to help remove odors during the cycle. Self-Clean Feature Operation 1. Complete all the steps listed above for preparing the oven to self-clean. 2. Close the oven door completely. 3. Press the SELF-CLEAN key. The oven will beep once, "CLEAN" will flash, and "- -:- -" will be displayed. 4. Press the TIME • TEMP + key and the default time of "2:00" hours will be displayed. 5. Increase the self-clean time up to 4 hours (depending upon the amount of oven soil) by holding the TIME • TEMP + key. 6. To delay the self-clean start to a more convenient time, press the STOP TIME key. Then, press the TIME • TEMP + key to set the time of day for the cycle to be complete. "DELAY TIMED" will appear in the clock display. You can delay the cycle up to 11 hours and 50 minutes. About 50 to 60 minutes is required for the oven to reach the self-clean temperature. The self-clean cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing CANCEL • SECURE. 8. After completion of the self-clean cycle, the oven will stop heating and the "ON" and "CLEAN" indicators will disappear from the clock display. Press the CANCEL • SECURE key. 9. When the interior oven temperature falls below 390˚F, the door latch will release and "LOCK" will disappear from the clock display. Do not select any cooking function until the oven door is unlocked. 10. Open the door. After ensuring that the oven has cooled sufficiently to be safe, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe out the powder residue found in the bottom of the oven. If white spots remain in the oven, remove them with a non-scratch scouring pad before using the oven again. These spots are normally salt that cannot be removed by a self-clean cycle. 11. Re-install the oven racks and convection filter before cooking in the oven. Self-Cleaning Tips • If any soil remains in the oven after completion of a self-clean cycle, repeat the cycle if desired. Increase the cleaning time during future cycles. • Clean the oven regularly to prevent excessive soil build-up. Regular use will increase the efficiency of the self-clean cycle and reduce the amount of smoke and odors generated. • Self-clean in the cooler evening hours after cooking is complete and when electricity rates are lower. 7. Approximately 30 to 60 seconds after selecting SELF-CLEAN, the automatic door latch will lock the door. "LOCK" and "ON" will appear in the clock display. The oven will begin heating. The "ON" indicator will cycle on and off with the burner. NOTE: If delay timed mode has been set, the "ON" display and the oven heat will not turn on until the programmed time has been reached. IMPORTANT: If the door is not closed completely, the automatic door latch will not be able to lock the door when the self-clean mode is selected. In this case, "DOOR" will flash in the clock display. press the CANCEL • SECURE key to clear self-clean and wait approximately 1 minute. Repeat the self-clean steps from the beginning, being certain to close the door completely. If you need to unlock the door, turn off the self-clean cycle by pressing the CANCEL • SECURE key. After approximately 1 minute, "LOCK" will disappear from the clock display and the door will unlock. Manual Cleaning Control Panel To avoid accidentally turning the oven on while cleaning the control panel, activate the secure feature (see Securing the Controls on page 11.) • Clean the control panel with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH. Dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth. Door Handle and Control Housing • Clean the door handle and control panel housing with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
