Setting Self-Clean Cycle 45 Starting self-clean cycle A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soil completely or reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can whisk away with damp cloth. If you are planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. Setting the controls for a Self-Clean cycle The clean feature provides 3 different choices for self-cleaning the upper oven. Set the clean for lite (2 hrs), med (3 hrs) or heavy soils (4 hrs).

DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance; they may be burned if they touch the hot oven door surfaces. • Do not force the oven door open when selfclean is active. This can damage the automatic door-locking system. Use caution when opening the door after self-clean cycle is complete; the oven may still be very hot. • The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The elements may still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are touched before they have cooled. • To avoid possible burns, use care when opening the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot steam and air to escape.
