Oven Cleaning Self-Clean Cycle Time Length The SPEED CLEAN (some models) and CLEAN pads control the Self-Cleaning feature. 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. So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete. *It is recommend to use a Speed Clean cycle (2 hour, some models) for light soils, a Clean cycle (3 hour) for average soils and heavy soils (to assure satisfactory results). To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the SelfCleaning cycle. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to escape. DO NOT force the oven door open. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and avoid possible burns when opening the door after the Self-Cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be VERY HOT. To set the controls for a 3 hour Self-Cleaning cycle to start immediately and shut off automatically 1. Be sure that the clock is set with the correct time of day and the oven door is closed. 2. Press CLEAN pad. "3:00", "CLn" will appear, "UPPER" and "CLEAN" will flash in the display. The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour period (default self-cleaning cycle time). Note: If a 2 hour clean time is desired (some models only), press SPEED CLEAN. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil: light, medium or heavy (* See above). 3. Press START pad or wait 5 seconds. "DOOR" and "LOCKED" will flash; "UPPER" and "CLn" will appear in the display and the clock will return to the time of day. 4. As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door lock will begin to close automatically. Once the door has been locked the "UPPER", "DOOR" and "LOCKED" indicator light will stop flashing and remain on. Also, the oven icon will appear in the display. Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close. Note: If the optional delay Self-Clean is desired, finish steps 6-9. If Self-Clean is started immediately skip the remaining steps and continue with "When the Self-Clean cycle is completed". 5. Press START TIME pad. "UPPER" and "DELAY" will start flashing and "- -:- -" will appear in the display. 6. Press the UP or DOWN ARROW pad until the desired start time appears in the display. 7. Press START pad or wait 5 seconds. The display will return to the time of day. 8. The control will start the self-cleaning at the set start time, for the period of time previously selected. When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed 1. Three long beeps will be heard and "CLn" will disappear from the display. "UPPER", "DOOR" and "LOCKED" will remain in the display until the door is unlocked. The cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has cooled down. 2. Once the oven has cooled down for 1 HOUR, and "UPPER", "DOOR" and "LOCKED" are no longer displayed, the oven door can then be opened. Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fire in the oven: 1. Press CLEAR/OFF pad. 2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR and "UPPER", "DOOR" and "LOCKED" are no longer displayed, the oven door can then be opened. Important Notes when using the Self-Clean Feature: 1. A Self Clean cycle cannot be started if Oven Lockout feature is active. 2. When Self-Clean cycle is active on one oven, the other one cannot be used or set for a Self-Clean cycle or any cooking cycle. 3. If your clock is set for normal 12 hour display mode the delay Self-Clean can never be set to start more than 12 hours in advance. To set for a delayed Self-Cleaning cycle 12-24 hours in advance see instructions to set control for the 24 hour time of day display mode. 7
