Press the keypad. "---" appears in the display. 3. To start press the or keypad once. "3:00" will appear in the display indicating that a 3 hour self-clean time is selected.

(some models) To set self-clean using a 4 hour clean time press once (4:00 appears in display). To stop self-clean at any time press keypad. IMPORTANT Once the oven control is set for self-clean, the "door locked" indicator light will flash while the latch is locking the oven door. DO NOT attempt to open the oven door while this indicator light is flashing (allow about 15 seconds for the oven door to completely lock). DO NOT try to force the oven door open. This may damage the automatic door locking system. IMPORTANT Immediately after setting self-clean the oven door will start to lock. Check to be sure the oven is completely empty before setting self-clean. If self-clean was set and any items were left inside the oven, you should try to remove them as soon as possible. Press cancel to stop self-clean and wait for the oven door to unlock. Once unlocked, remove any items from the oven, close the oven door and if needed set for selfclean again. CAUTION • To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the clean cycle is finished. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door to allow any hot air or steam to escape. • The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after they have turned OFF. The elements may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled sufficiently. When the self-clean cycle ends: • The time of day will appear in the oven display and the "clean" and "door locked" indicator lights will continue to glow. • Once the oven has cooled down for about 1 hour and the "door locked" light has turned off, the oven door may be opened. • Wait until the oven is completely cool, then wipe away any residue or powdered ash from the oven interior using a clean damp cloth or paper towel. If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a selfclean cycle after it has been activated: 1. Press keypad. 2. Once the oven has cooled down (as much as 1 hour) and the "door locked" indicator light has turned off, the oven door may be opened. 3. If the self-clean cycle did not completely finish cleaning the oven, set for another self-clean cycle. Restarting self-clean after a power failure: If a self-clean cycle was interrupted by a power failure, your oven may not have thoroughly cleaned. If so, once power is restored, the oven has cooled and the oven door has unlocked, set for another self-clean cycle. NOTE Whenever the self-clean feature is active you may momentarily display the amount of clean time remaining by pressing the self-clean keypad once. You will need to add about 1 hour to the time displayed before the oven cools down enough for the oven door to unlock. 26
