A self-clean time of 5 hours is recommended for a dirtier oven. If a time other than 5 hours or 3 hours is needed, use the number pads and enter the desired clean time. You can change the clean time to any time between 3 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is. The upper and lower oven doors lock automatically. The cooktop elements are also locked out during self-clean. The display will show the start time. It will not be possible to open the oven doors or use the cooktop until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and LOCKED/DOOR goes off in the control display.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.  You cannot set the oven for cooking or another self-clean cycle until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.  While the oven is self-cleaning, you can touch the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, touch the SELF CLEAN pad.  If the racks become hard to slide, apply a small amount of cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel. 30
